Apr 17, 2013 · The new SN 1006 image represents the most spatially detailed map yet of the material ejected during a Type Ia supernova. By examining the different elements in the debris field – such as silicon, oxygen, and magnesium – the researchers may be able to piece together how the star looked before it exploded and the order that the layers of the ...
May 23, 2018 · Egypt. Based on historical records and reports, it is likely that SN 1006 was the brightest supernova event ever recorded. In fact, the ancient Egyptian astronomer Ali ibn Ridwan wrote in a comment on Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos that “ [the] spectacle was a large circular body, 2½ to 3 times as large as Venus. The sky was shining because of its ...

SN 1006. SN 1006 was a supernova that is likely the brightest observed stellar event in recorded history, reaching an estimated −7.5 visual magnitude, [3] and exceeding roughly sixteen times the brightness of Venus. Appearing between April 30 and May 1, 1006, in the constellation of Lupus, this "guest star" was described by observers across ...
