The changing cosmos... a supernova in M51.

A comparison of The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) photographed on two separate dates. The supernova can be seen in the top photograph taken at the Binbrook observing site on June 5th. An earlier photograph positioned at bottom shows the Whirlpool galaxy pre-supernova taken on May 8th in Burlington.
