How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19730048 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
SN 1993J
SN 1993J is a well-studied Type IIb supernova that occurred in the nearby galaxy Messier 81 and became one of the brightest and most extensively observed supernovae of the late 20th century.
-
B.
SN 1987A
SN 1987A is a famous supernova, the closest observed in modern times, whose 1987 explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud has provided key insights into stellar death and supernova physics.
-
C.
V838 Monocerotis
V838 Monocerotis is a peculiar variable star best known for its spectacular 2002 outburst and subsequent expanding light echo, which produced some of the most striking astronomical images ever captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
-
D.
SN 1054
SN 1054 is a historic supernova observed in 1054 CE whose explosion created the Crab Nebula and was recorded by several medieval astronomers.
-
E.
SN 1572
SN 1572 is a historically significant supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia whose detailed observations by Tycho Brahe helped challenge the Aristotelian view of an unchanging heavens.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
