There have been several recorded supernovae in the Milky Way. The earliest recorded Milky Way supernova was SN 185 (seen, as the name implies, in 185 C.E.), and the most recent supernova recorded was SN 1604 (seen in 1604 C.E.), or Kepler's Supernova.
The earliest I have seen recorded is Moo Ye Dobo Tong Ji, written in 1790.
Sometimes a lunar eclipse can be seen with the naked eye. Often times, a telescope assists in viewing an eclipse.

This eclipse will be seen in East Europe, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 7, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Australia, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 22, 2009 there will be a Total Solar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in East Asia, Pacific Ocean, and Hawaii. On Aug 6, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in West Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. On Dec 31, 2009 there will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Africa, Australia, Europe, and Asia. I give most the credit to nasa.gov. My information was from that website.
A solar eclipse at night is not possible.
No. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in a relatively small area. A partial eclipse may be seen in a much larger but still limited area.
A lunar eclipse does not occur when the sun is out. A lunar eclipse can only be seen at night.
nope

annular eclipse
As early as 2800 BCE, ancient Chinese observes witnessed a solar eclipse. They thought it was a dragon devouring the sun though. It wasn't until 1605 that a recorded scientific observation was made by astronomer, Johannes Kepler.
Nothing at all; during a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun and is seen in silhouette.
