The supernova, classified as a Type I supernova, reached a peak apparent magnitude of 14.0.

It shows little evidence of enrichment by Type 1a supernovae.

SNR 0509-67.5 is the remnant of an unusually energetic Type 1a supernova from about 400 years ago.

The star catastrophically collapses and may explode in what is known as a Type II supernova.

The outer layers of the star are blown off in an explosion known as a Type II supernova that lasts days to months.

Watkins and his team wanted to measure the relative movement of galaxies using a different dataset, a catalog of Type 1a supernova.

The ultimate fate of the star is most likely a Type II supernova.

This can lead to runaway thermonuclear reactions and the massive explosion of the star in a Type I supernova.

In all likelihood, it will end its life as a Type II supernova.

A Type II supernova is believed to involve only one immense star in its final state of collapse.
