NGC 5068 - Earlier Image with  Luminous Red Nova AT 2020hat (Apr 2020)
AT2020hat (Type LRN, luminous red nova) discovered 2020/04/12.475 by ATLAS
 (Rochester Supernova site |  K. Itagaki image  mag +17.9 at 2020/04/14.618 |

Image (2020-04-19.941) taken 7.47 days after LRN discovery.
SN shown by white cross hairs. Magnitude ? (v. faint)

A LRN is is a stellar explosion thought to be caused by the merging of two stars.
The luminosity of the explosion occurring in luminous red novae is between that
of a supernova (which is brighter) and a nova (dimmer). The visible light lasts for weeks
or months, and is distinctively red in colour, becoming dimmer and redder over time. (
