An exoplanet (exo-planet), is an extra-solar (outside of our solar system) planet orbiting a star, other than the Sun, within our Milky Way galaxy.
The Kepler Telescope mission has discovered 4,000+ confirmed exoplanets in all, as of February 2015.

A supernova, is the catastrophic gravitational collapse of a stellar (star) core having a mass greater than 3.5 times the mass of the Sun. This is the last stage of the evolution of a star on the main sequence (Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram), and which ends in a violent explosion of the star's core, when nuclear forces prohibit any further collapse of the star, leaving behind a neutronium core, making it a neutron star. Supernovae are the most energetic stellar events in the known universe.
In 1989, a star in the galaxy M66, in the constellation Leo, underwent a supernova core collapse, which left stellar remnants in the form of a planetary nebula.
