With the help of high-quality pictures captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have concluded that three supernovae exploded in dark emptiness of intergalactic space hundreds of light-years away from their closest cosmic neighbors.

Galaxies containing hundreds of billions of stars are also the home of most supernovae. And chances are bright for one to explode per century per galaxy.

However, location of these lonely supernovae was between galaxies in three large clusters of several thousand galaxies each. The nearest distance at which the stars neighbors are located was probably 300 light-years away. The distance is 100 times farther than our Sun’s nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri, 4.24 light-years distant.

A celestial will action heat up in sky on 30th June, as the planet Jupiter is closing in on Venus. The gathering between the two brightest ‘stars’ in the Northern Hemisphere sky will take place in the west-northwest at dusk.

On June 30th, Venus and Jupiter will be in conjunction and will be separated by no more than the width of a chopstick held at arm’s length. They will gradually separate and sink away into the sunset all through July.

Modern astronomy believes that both planets have cloud worlds. However, there are differences as the cloud deck covering Venus is pure white while on Jupiter it’s white with turbulent bands of tan. Also, Venus is slightly less than Earth-size while Jupiter is 11 times wider than Earth.
