In a distant galaxy, a star explodes as a supernova. The maximum luminosity of the supernova is Lmaz = 10ยน3 L. What is the maximum distance of the galaxy hosting a supernova, for which we could still see the explosion with naked eye? Assume the limiting magnitude an eye can still detect is 6 and that the light is not absorbed between the supernova and the Earth. The absolute magnitude of the Sun is 4.83.
