Between 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock universal time (UT) on Monday morning, February 23, 1987, a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), at the position of the B3 I supergiant Sanduleak -69202, began to brighten rapidly. By 10 o'clock UT it had brightened by a factor of 200. And the next day it had increased in brightness by an additional factor of 10. As L. Woltjer notes above, this star is the first really bright supernova in the modern era. Because of its southern declination it can only be seen by southern observatories and space observatories.
