A new supernova was found earlier this month in M82. The new
supernova has been named SN 2014J. The supernova is located near the Big
Dipper. SN 2014J has yet to reach its maximum brightness yet it already is the
brightest in M82. M82 is 12 million light years away so that means that SN
2014J exploded 12 million years ago and we are now just able to see it. The question that I have is how many
supernovas have we yet to see and how often do they really occur?
