a bright supernova that shone in the Large Magellanic Cloud in the vicinity of the Tarantula Nebula on 23 February 1987, reaching its maximum of 2.8 mag. Thus, after 383 years since Kepler's supernova, at least residents of the southern hemisphere could marvel at another supernova visible to the naked eye. It shone in the sky for 10 months, but is now very faint. It probably left behind a pulsar that has not yet been found.
