This image shows supernova SN 2026gzf, which appears as a bright blue point source in the upper right corner of the host galaxy. SN 2026gzf was first detected by the Einstein Probe on 21 March 2026, and this image was taken just a few days later on 25 March 2026. This image was captured with the 570-megapixel DOE-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on the NSF Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile, a Program of NSF NOIRLab. View a series of close-up images that show the evolving supernova here.
