Timeline of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and supernovae

A short, easy-to-understand history of how scientists learned about neutron stars, pulsars, white dwarfs, and supernovae. It focuses on the growth of ideas and also notes real supernova events. For a separate list of the observed supernovae, see List of supernovae. Dates are when the supernova was observed from Earth, or would have been with the telescopes available at that time.
