These are amazing times we live in. NGC 4414 - an unbarred spiral galaxy about 62 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is a flocculent galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral. In 1974 a supernova, SN 1974G, was observed and was the only supernova in this galaxy to be recorded until June 7, 2013 when SN 2013df was discovered at Magnitude 14. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NGC_4414_(NASA-med).jpg astrobob.areavoices/files/2013/06/SN-in-NGC-4414-Brimacombe.jpg
