M100 Taken By: Kieran Davies taken: Feb 27, 2009 14:08:58 UTC RA: 12h22'55“ DEC: 15°49'22“ Filter: RGB time: 90 secs. Faulkes Telescope Hawaii

M100 Messier 100 is a spiral galaxy about 53 million light-years away. It is in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. It is one of the brightest galaxies in the Virgo cluster.

M100 Five supernovae have been identified in M100: SN 1901B, SN 1914A, SN 1959E, SN 1979C and SN 2006X. The most recent supernova was seen by West Monmouth School and photographed at the time using the Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii via the internet.

Comparing two images of M100 with the one we took in 2006 Foreground star still showing, but supernova now gone Foreground star, not part of the galaxy supernova Image taken by (Kieran Davies from Class 10L) in February 2009, showing the supernova has now faded from sight.
