 The key to understanding supernova behavior is to examine its early light profile. But because these explosions are transient events without location for knowledge, we haven't analyzed very many from their earliest minutes. But modern astronomy has new facilities to rapidly identify transient events and communicate them around the globe in real time. One of these is the new Zwicky Transient Facility, ZTF for short, at Palomar Observatory in Southern California operated by Caltech. Each image is more than 24,000 by 24,000 pixels, and 4 terabytes of data will be collected each night. This new facility and others like it will greatly improve our chances for finding supernova very early in their explosive stage.
