Summary

Description
English: This video sequence starts with a view of the bright constellation of Orion (The Hunter). As we zoom in, we focus on an adjacent region of the constellation of Eridanus (The River) and a faint glow appears. This is the spiral galaxy NGC 1637, which appears in all its glory in the final view from ESO’s Very Large Telescope. In 1999 scientists discovered a Type II supernova in this galaxy and followed its slow fading over the following years.

Deutsch: Diese Videosequenz beginnt mit einer Ansicht des auffälligen Sternbilds Orion (der Himmelsjäger). Wir nähern uns dann einer benachbarten Region im Sternbild Eridanus (der Fluss Eridanus), in der ein schwaches Leuchten auftaucht. Dabei handelt es sich um die Spiralgalaxie NGC 1637, die dann in einer Aufnahme vom Very Large Telescope der ESO in voller Pracht erscheint. Im Jahr 1999 entdeckten Wissenschaftler eine Supernova vom Typ II in dieser Galaxie und verfolgten ihr langsames Schwächerwerden über die nächsten Jahre.

Español: Esta secuencia de vídeo comienza con una visión de la brillante constelación de Orión (El Cazador). A medida que nos acercamos, no centramos en una región adyacente a la constelación de Eridanus (El Río) y aparece un débil brillo. Se trata de la galaxia espiral NGC 1637, que aparece en toda su Gloria en la imagen final obtenida por el VLT (Very Large Telescope) de ESO. En 1999 los científicos descubrieron una supernova de Tipo II en esta galaxia y estudiaron cómo se iba apagando lentamente con el paso de los años.
