Newly discovered supernova SN 2026ahvu in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1433 bedazzles new images from the Dark Energy Camera and the International Gemini Observatory. Caught early and still approaching its expected maximum brightness, SN 2026ahvu gives astronomers a valuable opportunity to study a stellar explosion as it unfolds. NSF NOIRLab is coordinating observations across the facilities it operates, working with its partners to maximize scientific return, and inviting other observatories to join the effort.
