In this Hubble Space Telescope image of NGC 2441, supernova SN1995E is the white spot within the red circle.
NGC 2441 is a spiral galaxy located in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis.[2] A Type 1a supernova, SN1995E, occurred in NGC 2441, and observations suggest it may display a light echo, where light from the supernova is reflected from matter along our line of sight, making it appear to "echo" outwards from the source.[2]
