Kepler's Supernova comparison table

Subject is an instance of is a kind of has definition

type I supernova supernova A supernova which may be produced by the thermonuclear detonation of a highly degenerate core produced by mass transfer from a companion star.

Kepler's Supernova type I supernova A Type I supernova (SN Oph 1604) whose light reached Earth in 1604. If H₀ = 50, then Kepler's supernova is out in the galactic halo at a distance of 12.1 kpc and 1.4 kpc above the galactic plane, according to van den Bergh. Kepler's supernova is the prototype of Type I supernovae; at its brightest it reached an apparent magnitude of about -2.2. (3C 358)
