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]
