This is a list of the supernovae discovered in 2006.
For supernovae which are still visible, please look at the
main page for the latest data.  
Note that Extra galactic Novae have been moved to a special
Extra galactic novae page .  
For more information,
you can look at the following Supernova Catalogs:
