Most recent Local Group supernova SN 1993J: Ursa Major +10.7 [18] 11,000,000 IIb M81: One of the brightest supernovae in the northern sky since 1954 SN 1994D: Virgo +15.2 50,000,000 Ia NGC 4526: SN 1998bw: Telescopium? 140,000,000 Ic ESO 184-G82: Linked to GRB 980425, which was the first time a gamma-ray burst has been linked to a supernova. SN ...
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.
Boom.In the colossal Pinwheel galaxy, 25 million light-years away, a star has just exploded and is even visible through small telescopes. The supernova-hunting astronomer Koichi Itagaki discovered ...
SN 2022jli is a Type Ic supernova discovered in 2022 in the spiral galaxy NGC 157 at a distance of about 23 Mpc. The light curve of the supernova exhibited oscillations that are interpreted as an interaction of a companion star of the star that exploded with a compact object, probably a neutron star or a black hole.

SN 2021aefx was observed in multiband by the Precision Observations for Infant Supernovae Explosions (POISE) a day after discovery. The photometry was obtained on the 1 m Swope Telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory.

A supernova in the Milky Way would almost certainly be observable through modern astronomical telescopes. The most recent naked-eye supernova was SN 1987A, which was the explosion of a blue supergiant star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
