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 supernovas 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.

List of supernovae

In most entries, the year when the supernova was seen is part of the designation (1st column).

Type Galaxy Notes
Template:NtshSN 185 Centaurus 7 December 185 Template:Ntsh−4 (?)[1] 9,100[2] Template:NtshIa (?) Milky Way Surviving description sketchy; modern estimates of maximum apparent magnitude vary from +4 to −8. The remnant is probably RCW 86, some 8200 ly distant,[3] making it comparable to SN 1572. Some researchers have suggested it was a comet, not a supernova.[4][5]
Template:NtshSN 386 Sagittarius April/May 386 Template:Ntsh+1.5 14,700 Template:NtshII Milky Way "suggested SN",[6] candidate remnant could be G11.2-0.3.[7][8] There are three suggestions and doubtful if SN at all or classical nova or something else.[9]
