Anywhere there are massive stars. They are relatively rare events but many have been observed since records began. The first observed Supernova was in 185 in Centaurus and was almost as bright as the moon.
Our closest candidate is IK Pegasi located at a distance of only 150 light years.

∙ 14y agoSupernova are sudden cataclysmic events that happen within seconds. They are rare events and that is one reason that they are so little understood.
Supernova remnants can be viewed, such as the crab nebula, but to view an actual supernova in progress is almost impossible to predict.
The most likely object to go supernova in our lifetime is Betelgeuse but there may well be others that will explode before then.

Supernovas are the explosions of large stars in space.
How are supernovas made?
star explosions
Do supernovas emit gamma rays?
Yes! Tons
Are supernovas bigger than a galaxy?
No, they are much smaller.
What do supernovas release when they explode?
gases.
How do binary stars differ form the supernovas and novas?

What actually are Supernovas?
Supernovas are the explosions of large stars in space.
Can you create supernovas?
no
Do stars create supernovas?
Stars do not create supernovas. Supernovas happen to stars. A supernova is when a star, bigger than our own sun, explodes due to the lack of gas they need.
What did supernovas and its elements have to do with the sun being born?
Star Dust from supernovas is what makes technically 'everything' in the Universe.
Why are supernovas called supernovas?
They are not. A supernova is an explosion of a star. Blue stars usually end their lives in such explosions.
Where can supernovas be found?
In space.
What is produced in great numbers by supernovas?
A great energy and light is produced by the supernovas. Therefore, a great number of photons is produced.
Can humans see supernovas?
Yes.
How are supernovas made?
