Interested in starting a supernova search?.   Please e-mail me.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, a star exploded.   This star exploded so violently that for a few weeks the star outshone its parent galaxy.   This type of explosion is called a Supernova.   The last one in our galaxy was 400 years ago, making us about 300 years overdue for the next one.   On this web page you will find a list of the currently observable supernovae, along with information on their location, reference images, and their last reported brightness.  Most of the supernova information found on this page comes from IAU and CBET circulars and occasionally more data can be found on IAU's List of Recent Supernovae web page.   Information on the current brightness and much of the background information is provided by SNWeb.   These web pages have brought you the latest in supernovae data and images since April 1997.   10 years and counting.

Wow, it looks like people really do read this web page, here is a great article that Doug Rich wrote about me.   New discoveries: 2008bk is somewhat southern, but very bright.   2008ax in the Cocoon galaxy is a (now) type Ib found very young.   2005ip was recently found to still be visible.   2005md (which is probably a blue variable) is visible again as well.   Two SN in the same galaxy again: 2008D and 2007uy in NGC 2770.   2007sr in the Antennae Galaxy is the brightest supernova of 2007 observable from the northern hemisphere.     For the year 2008, 85 supernovae have been reported (584 last year).   The brightest supernova reported for the year so far is 2008bk at mag 12.5, followed by 2008ax at mag 13.0, and 2008Q at mag 13.5 .  

Nearby Supernova Factory has a web page where they will be placing their discovery data real time.   Extragalactic Novae now have their own page at the top level.   I am (re)starting a supernova e-mail list.   Please sign up if interested.   VSNet is partially back up!   Please continue to email your observation to SNWeb as the magnitudes on the page are driven by these observations.   CBAT has password protected all IAU Circulars.   Your password will be in your last subscription notice.   LOSS ask people who discover supernovae to provide an offset from a nearby star to make spectroscopy easier.  

Look at the updates page for a list of the most recent changes and additions to these pages.

    Do you have a Supernova image you are willing to share with others? Please tell me about it! Don't be a data miser, share your data with others! I prefer to link to images already at a location on the web, but if you send me an image (jpeg or gif preferred) I will post and index it.

    I plan to report only "bright" Supernova (above mag 17.5) on this page. Note that you are going to need a big telescope to find most of these things, for instance, a "Mag 14" SN probably won't be visible to the eye in anything less than a 10" telescope. A CCD, however, can often detect a Mag 14 object with a much smaller objective. Those SN which are easily findable by amateurs (above mag 14.0) will be in red.

    The format is as follows:

    If possible I will create an icon for every bright supernova. This icon will be black on a white background and mirror imaged left to right so that North is up and East is left. The exception being a color image, which will have he same orientation. All icons will be less than 100x100 pixels in size so that they load quickly.
