See it on NASA's siteIn 1006 AD, a new star appeared in the sky, becoming brighter than Venus within days. This celestial event was recorded by observers across China, Egypt, Iraq, Italy, Japan, and Switzerland. Now known to be a supernova, it took months to fade. Modern observations have measured the speed of its still-expanding shock wave.
