Supernova 1987A is the bright star at the centre of the image, near the Tarantula Nebula. 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.
This background image of the region around supernova remnant Cassiopeia A was released by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope in 2008. By taking multiple images of this region over three years with ...
SN 2008D is a supernova detected with NASA's Swift X-ray telescope. The explosion of the supernova precursor star, in the spiral galaxy NGC 2770 (88 million light years away (27 Mpc), [1] was detected on January 9, 2008, by Carnegie-Princeton fellows Alicia Soderberg and Edo Berger, and Albert Kong and Tom Maccarone independently using Swift.

The expanding remnant of SN 1987A, a peculiar Type II supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud. NASA image.. A Type II supernova or SNII [1] (plural: supernovae) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star.
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 ...
NASA released footage on October 1 showing the supernova of a star in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525, 70 million light-years away, taken between 2018 and 2019. NASA said that at its peak, the ...
The supernova SN 2016gkg was detected by amateur astronomer Victor Buso from Rosario, Argentina, on 20 September 2016. [39] [40] It was the first time that the initial "shock breakout" from an optical supernova had been observed. [39] The progenitor star has been identified in Hubble Space Telescope images from before its
The position and timing mean that it may have been an observation of the Cassiopeia A progenitor supernova. [9] Another suggestion from recent cross-disciplinary research is that the supernova was the "noon day star", observed in 1630, that was thought to have heralded the birth of Charles II, the future monarch of Great Britain.
