i believe you are talking about SN 1987 A,it was a supernova in the satellite galaxy of the milky way,known as the large Magellanic cloud.it was identified as a 12Th magnitude star,and was a blue super giant,when it went supernova it was bright enough to see with the naked eye,magnitude 2.8,and all this happened in 1987,hence the name,and it happened in the southern constellation of dorado,aka,the gold fish...
