Approximately three hours before the visible light from SN 1987a reached the Earth, a burst of neutrinos was observed at two separate neutrino observatories, which had originally been built to study the solar neutrino problem.
The precursor to SN 1987a was a blue supergiant presumed to have a mass of about 20 solar masses.
The supernova remnant formed by debris from SN 1987a is one of the most-studied astronomical objects today.

This area, two degrees across, is centred on the area where the famous Tycho's Supernova, also known as SN 1572A, exploded in 1572.
The region lies in the constellation of Cassiopeia in the northern sky.
On 11 November 1572, Tycho Brahe noticed a star in the constellation Cassiopeia that was as bright as the planet Jupiter (which was in the night sky in Pisces).

of Kepler's Supernova, SN 1604.]] A supernova is a type of stellar explosion which appears to result in the creation of a new star upon the celestial sphere.
While most Type II supernova show very broad emission lines which indicate expansion velocities of many thousands of km/s, some have relatively narrow features which may be produced by the interaction of the ejecta with circumstellar material; these are called Type IIn, where the "n" stands for "narrow".
A few supernovae, such as SN 1987K and 1993J, appear to change types: they show lines of hydrogen at early times, but, over a period of weeks to months, become dominated by lines of helium.

SN 1987A was a supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy.
Approximately three hours before the visible light from SN 1987A reached the Earth, a burst of neutrinos was observed at three separate neutrino observatories (Kamiokande II, IMB and Baksan).
It was the second supernova to be observed in a generation (after SN 1572 seen by Tycho Brahe in Cassiopeia).

Supernovae are designated by the year they are discovered in with an accompanying letter to indicate the order of discovery in a given year: e.g., SN 1987A was the first supernova of year 1987.
For example in 2001 we reached SN 2001ke: this the 291st supernova of the year.
SN 1572 (the letter is omitted if there was only one SN discovered) is called Tycho since Tycho observed it.

 SN 1572 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The supernova was probably of Type Ia, in which a white dwarf star has accreted matter from a companion until it reaches the Chandrasekhar limit and explodes.
Tycho G's current velocity is perhaps the strongest evidence that it was the companion star to the white dwarf, as it is traveling at a rate of 136 km/s, which is more than forty times faster than the mean velocity of other stars in its stellar neighbourhood.
It has an apparent diameter of 3.7 arc minutes, and is located approximately 10,000 light years from our Solar system.

 The Radio Detection of SN 1968D in NGC 6946
SN 1968D thus represents the second RSN to be detected in NGC 6946 and only the fourth intermediate-age SN to have ever been detected in the radio.
However, since the monitoring observations were centered on SN 1980K, at 280" E and 165" S of the nucleus of NGC 6946, the resolution and sensitivity of the maps at the position of SN 1968D were seriously degraded by bandwidth smearing at 20 cm and by primary beam attenuation at 6 cm.
SN 1968D may have been recovered by ROSAT from observations of NGC 6964, but the field is too confused in X-rays to be certain (Schlegel 1994b).

 Tycho Brahe - Crystalinks
On November 11, 1572, Tycho observed (from Herrevad Abbey) a very bright star which unexpectedly appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia, now named SN 1572.
King Frederick II of Denmark and Norway, impressed with Tycho's 1572 observations, financed the construction of two observatories for Tycho on the island of Hven in Oresund.
Tycho also worked in the area of weather prediction, produced astrological interpretations of the supernova of 1572 and the comet of 1577, and furnished his patrons Frederick II and Rudolph II with nativities and other predictions (thereby strengthening the ties between patron and client by demonstrating value).

There are two different types of supernovas: one formed by the thermonuclear explosion of an accreting white dwarf star, and the other formed by the rebound explosion following the collapse of the core of a massive star.
Of the six known supernovas in our Milky Way in the last 1000 years, SN 1006, and SN 1572 (Tycho's supernova) are of the former type, while SN 1054 (Crab Nebula), SN 1181 and SN 1680?
(Cassiopeia A) are of the latter type, and SN 1604 (Kepler's supernova) is the only one for which the type is as yet unknown.

The most studied supernova in history, SN 1987A is the latest in a series of explosions observed by astronomers.
Aside from SN 1054, Arab astronomers observed one in 1006 and European astronomers observed SN 1572 (Tycho's supernova Cassiopeia A) and SN 1604 (Kepler's supernova in Serpens).
For the next 383 years, no supernovae were seen, until February 23, 1987, when a “new star,” SN 1987 A, appeared in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

 White Dwarf Halos
In the remaining cases, the exceedingly high Type Ia SN rate predicted for the present time also indicates that the mass fraction of the Galactic halo in the form of WDs should be much smaller than that suggested from microlensing experiments.
The only supernovae observed in our Galaxy in the last 1000 yr that clearly were Type Ia SNs have been SN 1006 and SN 1572 (van den Bergh and Tammann 1991), and their progenitors did not belong to the halo population.
In that case, since formation of most clouds would precede ejection by Type Ia SNs of a major fraction of the iron mass and the filling factor of the clouds should be small, the case would resemble that of a gas-free halo.
