GRB 060218 occurred in a star-forming galaxy about 440 million light-years away towards the constellation Aries, making it the second-closest supernova ever detected. The closest was SN 1987A, which went off about 165,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy.
Does this mean that this supernova happenned 440 million light years ago and this may not be the current event?
