SN 1006
SUPERNOVA · the brightest ever witnessed
The brightest stellar event in recorded human history. In the spring of 1006, observers in China, Egypt, Iraq, Japan and Europe all wrote about a dazzling new star, so bright it cast shadows and could be seen in daytime. It was a white dwarf detonating completely. A thousand years later, its thin glowing shell still expands through space.
