NGC 7080

NGC 7080 is a barred spiral galaxy[2] located about 204.5 million light-years away[3] in the constellation of Vulpecula.[4] It has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light-years which would make it similar in size to the Milky Way.[3] NGC 7080 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on September 6, 1863.[5]

SN1998ey

On December 5, 1998 a supernova of type Ic-pec was discovered in NGC 7080.[7]

gollark: No.
gollark: Mostly. There also seem to be system monitoring alerts of some kind from what looks like an IT company.
gollark: Also, there are apparently Chinese clones of different SDRs which are fairly cheap and might be good now.
gollark: There's one nearbyish. It worries me that there's seemingly sensitive data being sent unencrypted over pagers.
gollark: I've got an RTL-SDR, which is pretty neat. It can receive stuff on basically any frequency between 30MHz and 1.7GHz, although not particularly well without optimized antennas and amplifiers and stuff.
