Kirshner says he has worked with supernovae for the past 17 years, ever since he started his graduate work in California. But even as a junior concentrator in Harvard's undergraduate Astronomy Department, Kirshner decided to focus on his present specialty, when he took a tutorial on the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant...
