Description
Supernovae are among the most energetic and luminous events in the universe, providing unique opportunities to study stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, the dynamics of interstellar matter, and the physics of stellar remnants such as neutron stars and black holes. The next galactic supernova could offer unprecedented insights if we are adequately prepared to discover it. This paper briefly discusses the current astronomical capabilities to detect, monitor, and analyze the next supernova occurring within our galaxy.
