J0624–6948 is located between the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud

ORCs are related to central galaxies, but not to J0624-6948. the object has Different wave emission and much larger. Scientists believe that this is The first intergalactic supernovawas discovered.

Where does this J0624-6948 come from? Scientists believe that this is the remnant of the explosion of the edge star Large Magellanic Cloud. It expanded in such a way that it found itself in intergalactic space. Scientists have estimated the age of this supernova from 2.2 to 7.1 thousand. years and has a diameter of about 155 light years.
