Constellation: Fornax
NGC 1097 is a barred spiral galaxy. It is located about 45 million Ly away in the constellation Fornax. It interacts with the galaxy NGC 1097A, which causes tidal debris and distortions.
The stars in the first image were taken from the autumn 2022 data , while those in the second image come from the images taken after September 13, 2023. The Supernova SN2023rve, discovered by Mohammad Odeh on Spetember 8, is clearly visible in the second image. SN2023rve has reached a magnitude of about 14 around September 11, 2023 (link to Mohammad’s light curve). More information. Link to interactive sky chart.
