SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.

Artist's conception of a white dwarf, right, accreting hydrogen from the Roche lobe of its larger companion star A nova (pl. novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new") that slowly fades over weeks or months.
The word supernova has the plural form supernovae (/-v iː /) or supernovas and is often abbreviated as SN or SNe. It is derived from the Latin word nova, meaning ' new ', which refers to what appears to be a temporary new bright star. Adding the prefix "super-" distinguishes supernovae from ordinary novae, which are far less luminous.
Name Distance Notes Supernova: SN 1000+0216: z=3.8993 [1] Type Ia supernova: SN UDS10Wil z=1.914 [2] Type Ia supernova: SN SCP-0401 z=1.71 First observed in 2004, it was not until 2013 that it could be identified as a Type-Ia SN. [3] [4] Type Ia supernova: SN 1997ff: z=1.7 Its distance was determined in 2001. [5] [6] [7] Type Ia supernova
Map showing various supernova candidates, most of which are within one kiloparsec from the Solar System. [1] This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae. Type II supernova progenitors include stars with at least 8~10 solar masses that are in the final stages
