Jordanian Astronomical Society spots supernova

It was discovered on September 1st through the ATLAS survey, with an apparent magnitude of 17.3, then gradually brightened to almost magnitude 14. This allowed for the documentation of an early stage of the stellar explosion's development. The supernova is classified as Type Ia, which is used as a "standard candle" in measuring cosmic distances and studying the expansion of the universe. The observed light represents an explosion that occurred approximately 40 million years ago.
