Astronomers recognize two different types of supernovae, Type I and Type II. Bright Type I supernovae occur anywhere in a spiral galaxy, but dimmer Type II supernovae are seen only in the spiral arms. Other distinguishing characteristics are described in John Gribbin s book Stardust (New Haven, Connecticut Yale University Press, 2000).

John Gribbin in his book In Search of Schrodinger s Cat says not only do we not know what an atom is really we cannot ever know what an atom is really. We can only know what an atom is like. By probing it certain ways, we find that under those circumstances, it is like a billiard ball. Probe it another way and we find it is like a solar system. Ask a third set of questions, and the answer we get is it is like a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a fuzzy cloud of electrons (Gribbin, 1984).
