Each image is 1.5 arcseconds on a side. The left image is taken in the z-band on 2017 August 18 00:05:23 UT and combined with g- and r-band images taken 1 day later. The right image shows the same area two weeks later, illustrating the fading of the optical counterpart. [Credit: Soares-Santos et al. and DES Collaboration]
