SN 1987A was a type II supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It occurred approximately 51.4 kiloparsecs (168,000 light-years ) from Earth and was the closest observed supernova since Kepler's Supernova in 1604.
The closest supernova observed since the invention of the telescope, [17] Supernova 1987A, occurred in the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula. [18] There is a prominent supernova remnant enclosing the open cluster NGC 2060. Still, the remnants of many other supernovae are difficult to detect in the complex nebulosity. [19]
The NGC 1566 Group of Dorado contains H I with M HI = 3.5 × 10 10 M ⊙ of which 40% alone comes from the NGC 1566 galaxy. [5] More than half of its members are outside its virial radius of 580 kpc which suggests this group is a young non-virialized group. The 2005 Kilborn et al. set of confirmed NGC 1566 Group members (within the Dorado Group ...
Dorado (US: / d ə ˈ r eɪ d oʊ /, also UK: /-ˈ r ɑː d oʊ /) is a constellation in the Southern Sky. It was named in the late 16th century and is now one of the 88 modern constellations . Its name refers to the mahi-mahi ( Coryphaena hippurus ), which is known as dorado ("golden") in Spanish , although it has also been depicted as a ...
Alpha Doradus, Latinized from α Doradus, is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Dorado. The distance to this system, as measured using the parallax method, is about 169 light-years (52 parsecs). [6] A light curve for Alpha Doradus, plotted from TESS data [10] [11]

SN 2004dj was the brightest supernova since SN 1987A at the time of its discovery. [citation needed] This Type II-P supernova was discovered by Japanese astronomer Kōichi Itagaki on 31 July 2004. At the time of its discovery, its apparent brightness was 11.2 visual magnitude; the discovery occurred after the supernova had reached its peak ...
