Perhaps it’s time to see what we now know about supernovae.

I’ve accidentally run across supernova types FELT and TDE that I haven’t seen before.

FELT is Fast-Evolving Luminous Transient. A non-rotating giant star “burps” out a shell of gas and dust about a year before exploding. Most of the energy from the supernova turns into light when it hits this previously ejected material, resulting in a short, but brilliant burst of radiation. https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/2171/felt-supernova/

TDE is Tidal Disruption of Envelope. TDE theory explains some superluminous supernova. A star is ropped apart (spaghettified) by hitting a galactic black hole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_disruption_event.

Apart from these, another weird one is an extremly bright supernova which is really a normal Type 1a supernova but magnified by a gravitational lens between us and the event. Known as type SLSN.
