How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T21026595 — 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 1961V
SN 1961V is a peculiar and debated astronomical transient in the galaxy NGC 1058, long argued to be either an unusual supernova or a super-outburst of a luminous blue variable star.
-
B.
SN 1968L
SN 1968L is a supernova that occurred in the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 83, contributing to its reputation as one of the most prolific supernova-hosting galaxies in the local universe.
-
C.
SN 1994I
SN 1994I is a well-studied Type Ic supernova that occurred in the Whirlpool Galaxy (Messier 51), notable for its rapid light-curve evolution and stripped-envelope progenitor.
-
D.
SN 1923A
SN 1923A is a historical supernova observed in the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 83, notable as one of several recorded stellar explosions in that galaxy.
-
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.
