	Supernova - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One famous example of this process is the remnant of SN 1604, shown to the right.
		SN 1994D in the NGC 4526 galaxy (bright spot on the lower left).
		The 1604 supernova was used by Galileo as evidence against the Aristotelian dogma of his period, that the heavens never changed.

	SN 1987A - Psychology Central
		SN 1987A was a supernova in the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy.
		SN 1987A appears to be a core-collapse supernova which results in a neutron star.
		SN 1987A was close enough to the Milky Way Galaxy that it was visible to the naked eye.

		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.
		SN 1572 (the letter is omitted if there was only one SN discovered) is called Tycho since Tycho observed it.
		SN 1604 is called Kepler since Kepler observed it.

	The Radio Detection of SN 1968D in NGC 6946 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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).

		On the night of October 9, 1604, sky watchers looking at a rare clustering of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, were amazed by the appearance of a "new star" as bright as the planets.
		It was not until the mid-20th century that astronomers, using large telescopes, searched for and found a cloud of glowing gas around the location of the new star of 1604.
		(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.

		These were actually a supernova (1604) and a nova-like outburst of a variable star (1600).

		A Type II SN is similar except it gains this excess of matter by being born a heavyweight contender.
		The novae and SN were in a class of their own, so different from the apparition of comets and the relatively common rain of meteors.
		Similarly, the SN of 1604 was studied by Johannes Kepler.

	SN 1604 - Psychology Central
		As of 2005, it is the last supernova to have been unquestionably observed in our own galaxy, occurring no greater than 6 kiloparsecs or about 20,000 light-years from Earth.
		A "naked eye" supernova, it was brighter at its peak than any other star in the night sky, and all the planets too, with apparent magnitude −2.5.
		The supernova remnant resulting from this supernova is considered to be one of the "prototypical" objects of its kind, and is still an object of much study in astronomy.

		It seems that (apart from the SN event having triggered the contraction of the protosolar nebula) mainly two SN events are believed to make terrestrial impact: 1) the hypothetic SN claimed to have caused the Permo-Triassic extinction (see some lectures of Cs.
		So for SN event an agent is needed to carry momentum outwards, and transport it to the outer shells, otherwise the initially inward momenta will not be turned back even at the periphery.
		SN 5-9 occurred in Chinese records as "guest stars" and sometimes modern astronomers are not sure if they were supernovae, novae or comets.

		And guess what I found: yesterday is the 401st anniversary of the Kepler Supernova, also called SN 1604.
		The reason this is noteworthy is that the cosmic explosion occurred in the constellation Ophiucus.
		Apparently the supernova is in the foot of the man in the constellation, rather than the snake, but it’s an interesting connection nonetheless - if you’re into trying to read obtuse signs, that is. That said, I wonder what such a symbol could be read as: two great predators whose union causes their mutual destruction.

		It was discovered on October 9, 1604, when it was already brighter than all stars in the sky, by several persons including Brunowski in Prague (who notified Kepler), Altobelli in Verona, Clavius in Rome, and Capra and Marius in Padua.
		Kepler first saw it on October 17, and started a systematic study of the phenomenon, inspired by Tycho's work on the supernova of 1572.

		SN 1987, as it was called, turned out to be a most peculiar object.
		The obscure progenitor star which gloried in the designation Sk-69°202 was not an old red star (the usual precursor of a Supernova) but instead a blue object.

		Earlier probable and possible supernovae in the proceeding millennium that were chronicled in China are also discussed, along with their possible remnants.
		Other less certain observations of historical SN, and the future prospects for additional historical observations, are briefly discussed.
