"Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, locked in their final desperate struggle against the force of gravity...two stars exploded! Stellar explosions - supernovae - are among the most powerful events in the Universe, estimated to release an equivalent energy of up to 1 million trillion trillion (1 followed by 30 zeros) megatons of TNT. After the explosion, an expanding supernova envelope is observed to brighten over a period of days to a maximum light output, which rivals that of an entire galaxy before fading from view over the following months. Triggered by the collapsing core of a massive star or the nuclear demise of a white dwarf, supernovae occur in average spiral galaxies only about once every 25-100 years. But an observation of NGC 664, a spiral galaxy about 300 million light-years distant, captured a rare and colourful performance - two supernovae from the same galaxy. In this monitoring exposure, the two supernovae, one reddish yellow and one blue, form a close pair just below the image center (to the right of the galaxy nucleus). The colour difference is due to temperature - blue is hotter."
