The hooked galaxy and its companion - annotated image

Annotated version of ESO Press Photo eso0622. The two interacting galaxies and the location of SN 2005cf are indicated. When the supernova exploded, more than a year ago, it was almost as bright as its host galaxy. One year later, it is much dimmer and can only be studied with the largest telescopes, such as ESO's Very Large Telescope.
