This image shows Supernova 2012Z, found in the outskirts of the spiral galaxy NGC 1309. The stellar blast is a member of a unique class of supernova called Type Iax. These supernovae are less energetic, and hence fainter on average, than their well-known cousins Type Ia supernovae, which also originate from exploding white dwarfs in binary systems. The location of the supernova in the galaxy is highlighted in the annotated image.
