From the Paper
"People who study extraterrestrial life [life on other planets in our solar system or even in others] are called Exobiologists. They try to find out if any living thing exists, today, on another planet. Exobiologists investigate how the development of stars and the solar systems led to the survival of planets appropriate for living, how life came to exist on Earth and maybe anywhere else, and which aspect influenced evolution. By understanding this, exobiologists learn of how life takes place and progresses in the universe. "

This paper covers the following topics: what are supernovae; the history of the supernovae; supernovae in our Galaxy: how they are formed; nomenclature; how they affect us.
From the Paper
" A supernova is the cataclysmic explosion of a big mass star, which releases a huge quantity of light instantaneously, occurring approximately twice per century. Astronomers have been observing supernovae in our skies since the times of Christian Huygens, Simon Marius, Messier, Brache and Kepler. Fritz Zwicky was the first to use the term supernova to describe lights that were much brighter than any other star or planetary body visible in the sky. "

From the Paper
"Throughout time, man has looked to the skies and wondered what was beyond the clouds. For the most part, primitive man solved the quandary of universal creation through myths, legends and stories. The Egyptians provided the earliest and primitive conjectures of the universe. In early Greece, Ptolemy made observations and transcribed the positions of stars, eventually documenting his findings in his book, Almagest. During the Renaissance and Enlightenment, scientists and astronomers began to study the solar system and universe. Beginning with Earth?s solar system and slowly expanding to the milky way galaxy, mankind?s understanding of the universe slowly expanded and advanced. Galileo?s invention of the telescope was the monumentous innovation of the 17th century. It allowed for the examination and probing of the universe without traveling throughout it. Modern discoveries in science and astronomy conflicted with religion in dealing with the creation of the universe. As time passed, the comprehension of the universe evolved. "
