Hi Umop!
I believe thats not the same thing! at least not a supernova.
we have had a lot of coronal mass ejections just not anything of that magnitude in modern times.
we may have had them in the past and some have contributed the possibility of one or more mass extinction events, to the possibility of such a huge coronal ejection or a possible GRB from another nearby event.
But I may stand corrected by others with a better grasp of this subject
