Mystery

    I have got a mystery on my hands.

    There clearly is a blue star showing up on the Skyserver image. But where is it on Sky View?

    And where is it in UKIRT?

    I'll probably make another fool of myself again, but is this a supernova? Or is the object in the Sky View and UKIRT images the star and is the galaxy to faint to show up?

    Or are the objects perfectly blended together?

    This is great. An unrecorded supernova discovered by our very own Abe.
