List of supernovae

none
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).
