SN 1987A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SN 1987A was a supernova that was very close to the Earth. It was so close that scientists found neutrinos before the light came to Earth.[1] SN 1987A is the only supernova that has been that close in modern times. There have been others that were closer but they were before scientists knew much.
