"Rare Supernova Discoveries Shed Light on Universe's Mysteries"

Astronomers have captured a rare image of a supernova, SN Zwicky, that appears as multiple images in the sky due to the gravitational lensing effect caused by another galaxy. This event is among the biggest challenges in astronomy and was first predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The Bright Transient Survey, the largest spectroscopic supernova survey ever conducted, discovered SN Zwicky, which is a Type Ia supernova that could help researchers see further back in time and explore the nature of dark energy. The discovery could also help uncover secrets of the universe and probe the amount and distribution of matter at the inner core of galaxies.
