Bright Supernovae - 2008
This data comes from
IAU Circulars
and occasionally more data will be provided on
IAU's
Astronomical Headlines page.
An archive of the 2008 updates
to this page is available.
This is a partial list of the SN discovered in 2008.
Since 2008 is still ongoing, please look at the
main page for the latest data.  
Note that Extra galactic Novae have been moved to a special
Extra galactic novae page.  
For more information,
you can look at the following Supernova Catalogs:
For the year 2008, 272 supernovae have been reported (22 not via CBAT) (584 last year).   The brightest supernova reported for the year so far is 2008ge at mag 12.2, followed by 2008bk at mag 12.5, 2008ax at mag 13.0, 2008fp at mag 13.5, and 2008Q at mag 13.5 .
