Photo description / processing

SN 2023ixf is the brightest and closest supernova to Earth in the past decade. Japanese astronomer Koichi Itagaki first reported observations of the supernova as a transient with an apparent magnitude of +14.9m on May 19, 2023. As of May 22, 2023, the supernova's apparent magnitude was +10.8m. It is interesting how the supernova's color changed over time—from blue to yellow to red.
