Image of a galaxy (redshift 0.0085) approximately 125 million light-years away, with an arrow pointing to a bright spot that may be a supernova potentially linked to Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 980425. The image shows the possibility of a connection between two of the most violent events in the universe. The supernova's unusual brightness in radio waves is noted. Further observation is needed to determine the relationship between the two events.
