A binocular telescope like the one that will be launched on a satellite into space in 2030 will arrive at the Aragonese observatory in the coming weeks. The ARRAKIHS mission will take images from Pico del Buitre for at least the next two years. They will be used to improve all data processing and analysis and to refine the observational strategy in a team led by Dr Antonio Marín-Franch. The goal is to observe nearby galaxies at unprecedented depths in search of the stellar trails predicted by the standard cosmological model and which have so far proved elusive.

The discovery was made with the JST250 telescope and the JPCam camera of the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory. The scientific team of the Centro de Estudios del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA) has discovered a new supernova, which would be located almost 700 million light-years from Earth. This stellar explosion is the first to be detected with the JST250 telescope since the start of JPCam's scientific operations. The supernova has already been registered by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
