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.
This is a list of observed supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Milky Way, as well as galaxies nearby enough to resolve individual nebulae, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy.
SN 2008ha was co-discovered by Caroline Moore, Jack Newton and Tim Puckett, members of the Puckett Observatory World Supernova Search. [3] The 14-year-old Moore received considerable attention for her role in the discovery because at the time, she was the youngest person to have discovered a supernova.
SN 1993J is a supernova observed in Bode's Galaxy.It was discovered on 28 March 1993 by F. Garcia in Spain. [3] At the time, it was the second-brightest type II supernova observed in the twentieth century behind SN 1987A, [4] peaking at a visible apparent magnitude of 10.7 on March 30, with a second peak of 10.86 on April 18.
Supernova discoveries are reported to the International Astronomical Union's Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, which sends out a circular with the name it assigns to that supernova. [57] The name is formed from the prefix SN , followed by the year of discovery, suffixed with a one or two-letter designation.
SN 2014J was a type-Ia supernova in Messier 82 (the 'Cigar Galaxy', M82) discovered in mid-January 2014. [3] It was the closest type-Ia supernova discovered for 42 years, and no subsequent supernova has been closer as of 2023. The supernova was discovered by chance during an undergraduate teaching session at the University of London Observatory.
See what the supernova girl is up to now Robert "Boston Rob" Carlo Mariano first made his TV debut in the early days of the reality phenomenon in "Survivor: Marquesas" in 2002.
SN 2020fqv was a type II supernova which occurred in March 2020 in the spiral galaxy NGC 4568, approximately 60 million light years from Earth.The explosion was detected by both the Zwicky Transient Facility and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
