Novae and supernovae are rare astronomical events that would have had an influence on the sky-watching peoples who witnessed them. Although several bright novae/supernovae have been visible during recorded human history, there are many proposed but no confirmed accounts of supernovae in oral traditions or material culture. Criteria are established for confirming novae/supernovae in oral and material culture, and claims from around the world are discussed to determine if they meet these criteria. Australian Aboriginal traditions are explored for possible descriptions of novae/supernovae. Although representations of supernovae may exist in Indigenous traditions, and an account of a nova in Aboriginal traditions has been confirmed, there are currently no confirmed accounts in Indigenous oral or material traditions.

Echoes of Star Stories: Integrating Indigenous narratives into modern stellar astrophysics
Indigenous astronomical traditions contain empirically grounded stellar observations—such as the Boorong record of Eta Carinae and Aboriginal accounts of Betelgeuse's variability—and can enrich astrophysics, education...
