The supernova was about 21 million light-years from Earth and is expected to have left behind either a neutron star or black hole, based on current stellar evolution models. The supernova is located near a prominent HII region, NGC 5461, in an outer spiral arm of the bright galaxy. [3] By 22 May 2023, SN 2023ixf had brightened to about ...

SN 2023rve is a type II supernova that happened in the 10th magnitude barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 on September 8, 2023. [1] Scientists from the McDonald Observatory in the state of Texas, United States, have observed the supernova and conducted photometric measurements, they described it to be the brightest supernova in the sky as of September 12, 2023.
The last supernova directly observed in the Milky Way was Kepler's Supernova in 1604, appearing not long after Tycho's Supernova in 1572, both of which were visible to the naked eye. The remnants of more recent supernovae have been found, and observations of supernovae in other galaxies suggest they occur in the Milky Way on average about three ...
A new study has described in detail a dying star initially recorded in 1181. The object may belong to a rare class of supernovas that leaves behind a “zombie star.”
The supernova SN 1006 appeared in the southern constellation of Lupus during the year 1006 CE. This was the brightest recorded star ever to appear in the night sky, and its presence was noted in China, Egypt, Iraq, Italy, Japan and Switzerland. It may also have been noted in France, Syria, and North America.
These were perhaps some of the thoughts of the roughly 50 observers in the Inland Northwest who reported their sighting of a fireball in the sky Monday night to the American Meteor Society. At ...
