List of supernovae

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 supernovae of historical significance includes events since 2000 that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.

List of supernovae since 2000

This is a list of supernovae which occurred since 2000. For supernovae before 2000, see List of supernovae (before 2000).

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