SN 185 was a supernova first seen in the year 185, near the direction of Alpha Centauri, between the constellations Circinus and Centaurus. This "guest star" was observed by Chinese astronomers and may have been recorded inRoman literature. It remained visible in the night sky for eight months. It is believed to have been the first supernova recorded by humankind. The gaseous shell RCW 86 is suspected as being the supernova remnant of this event. The distance to this object is estimated to 1 kpc. Recent X-ray studies show a good match for the expected age

What is the Vela Supernova?
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
Who discovered the first supernova?
The first recorded supernova was observed by Chinese astronomers in 185 AD, which is known as SN 185. However, the discovery of the first modern supernova, SN 1572, was made by the astronomer Tycho Brahe in 1572.
How do astronomers know that the Sun is located in a local bubble formed by a supernova?
There is no answer
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant In which constellation is it located?
The Crab Nebula is located in the constellation of Taurus. It is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth and is the result of a supernova explosion that was observed in the year 1054.
What was the first supernova called?
Probably the Vela supernova in the southern constellation Vela. Its source supernova exploded approximately 11,000-12,300 years ago (and was about 800 light years away).
Who recorded the first supernova?
The word supernova was first used by Fritz Zwicky, a Swiss astrophysicist and astronomer, and was first seen in print in 1926. The word was from the original German, Haupt Nova.This comes from Nova (plural novae) which means "new" in Latin.
Which person first discovered the first supernova?
By Chinese astronomers in 185 AD
How does supernova come into existence?
A supernova comes to existence when a white dwarf drains the matter from any companion star up to a point in wich it cannot carry anymore, and then it will first implode, and afterwards it will explode, a supernova.
How did supernova SN 1987A differ from most other observed supernovae?
Supernova SN 1987A was the closest observed supernova to Earth in almost 400 years, allowing for detailed observations. It was also the first naked-eye supernova since the invention of the telescope. Additionally, SN 1987A marked the first time neutrinos were detected coming from a supernova, which provided valuable insights into the explosion process.
When was supernova 1987a discovered?
It was first observed on February 23, 1987.
Is crab nebula same as supernova?
It's not the same as a supernova--the Crab Nebula is the visible remnant of a supernova event which occurred about 7,500 years ago. The light from the supernova explosion reached the earth and was observed by Chinese and Arab astronomers about 1,000 years ago. The Crab Nebula was the first object to be identified with a supernova which was actually observed during recorded history.
What was the first recorded supernova?
SN 185 [See Link] was a supernova which appeared in the year 185, near the direction of Alpha Centauri. This "guest star" was observed by Chinese astronomers in the Book of Later Han, and may have been recorded in Roman literature.This is believed to have been the first supernova recorded by humankind.
