The purpose of this thread is to discuss anything related to related to supernovae.
Some of the interesting topics in my opinion are:
1) Discussing my views of SN(e)1987A which can be found here:

2) The distance of SN1993J
3) Justification of using type 1A supernovae as standard candles.
4) Is the crab nebula really a SN remnant?
Feel free to discuss whatever else related to SNe.
