- This is breaking news (on Earth). It happened millions of years ago in space. We have an as-yet unconfirmed supernova in the galaxy M95.
This is not our final M95 video, just a news update. Thanks to Nik Szymanek who imaged the object for us at short notice and in testing conditions (what a nuisance Mars can be).
Video features Professor Mike Merrifield and Meghan Gray.

I made some quick calculations. If you look at Mars and put a finger close to your eye.
space is so fascinating...
It blows my mind every time that those little smudges are entire galaxies with countless stars
M95, thanks for the heads up :) Can't wait to see it and thanks very much for obtaining and posting this video, Brady! Awesome stuff :-)
well done Nik S, and thanks so much for letting Brady show us all your images of this possibe SN - much appreciated!!! and thanks Brady for this special breaking news vid - exciting moment in my subs box tonite!!!
That last tid bit just broke my heart
@DracoMhuuh thank you - glad you're enjoying them!
This is a brilliant video, it's rare to find such quality information on the internet talking about recent phenomena. Keep it up Brady!
P.s What book is Mike using?
Thank you Brady, and thanks to Mike and Meghan! I expect fantastic images presented very shortly ;-)
Another great video. Thank-you.
@paulosham1 you're welcome - you can always re-pay me by sharing the link around and telling people about Deep Sky Videos! :)
(or send a large quantity of unmarked bills to me at Deep Sky Videos)
I'm so glad I checked youtube before going to sleep. Brady I'm a physics student and your videos are really awesome. I just love it and talk about your channels to all the students at my university =D Your videos are entertaining, educative and accurate =D
Brady should definitely get "science journalist of the year", assuming such an award exists! Great rapid response getting the video out to us Brady, thank you! I immediately went out with my binoculars to look at Mars. Of course I knew I probably wouldn't even see M95 let alone the supernova, but somehow it was good to know I was looking at where this happened... wish I had a good telescope :)
@Lelbee great to hear!
i think you should do m57 next because it looks amazing and i would love to hear about it =D
Thanks Brady for posting this, helped me to clarify my knowledge i need for my 'A' Level. Michael thanks for the info the the supernova as i didn't know that, and Meghan for the apparent magnitude. I wonder Brady could you post a video on either this channel or Sixty symbols, a video about magnitudes. thanks :)
38 million light years is close enough that we can resolve individual stars? Wow!
Wow! Great! I get to see something that was put out on Mar. 19, 2012 in Jan. 14, 2020. Gee, I hope that I'm not too late.
how long will it keep glowing braddy ????? - also can i please get links to the fb pages of ur other channels :D, great vids as always :D
Thanks for this Brady. Tweeting it out.
