Future
The estimated rate of supernova production in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way is about one every 50 years. This is much higher than the actual observed rate, implying that a portion of these events have been obscured from the Earth by interstellar dust. The deployment of new instruments that can observe across a wide range of the spectrum, and neutrino detectors, means that the next such event will almost certainly be detected.
