Statistics on Supernovae Discoveries
Discoveries by amateurs have been
rising in recent years. This graph shows their progress:
 Amateurs' contribution in SNe discoveries.
And the next page shows the amateurs
who have discovered a supernova:
List of amateur discoverers of SNe.
This is a list to all extra-galactic
supernovae discovered since the first one, SN 1885A in M31 (over a century ago). It is
mantained by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT):
All SNe
since 1885. (external link)
The next pages relate to all supernovae discovered so far, their properties and their
parent galaxies:
