Observing Supernova 2010O with the Hubble Space Telescope
Jack has now discovered his 52nd supernova and
while he is excited by each and every one, nothing can touch his elation on
having SN2010O (which he discovered in February) selected as the subject of an
investigation by a select group of investigators who have been awarded observing
time on the Hubble Space Telescope. They will be attempting to photograph the
progenitor star in the starburst galaxy NGC 3690 in the bowl of the Big Dipper.
The team is an elite international one, headed by Dr. Howard E. Bond of the
Space Science Institute in
