    • Misc
      This is scanned image from the Sky & Telescope article on SN 1987A. It shows the above fake color image, with their interperation of SN 1987A as it would look like from a different point of view. (this is their image, okay for us to show at talks, ask Sky & Telescope about any futher use.)
    • 87A from S & T with hourglass drawing
      Does this object look like SN 1987A ???
    • hour glass nebula (similar to 87A)
