Abstract
In July 1895 W. P. Fleming at Harvard discovered (Pickering, 1897) on a objective prism plate exposed on a field in Centaurus a most peculiar object which was first classified as an R type spectrum and is now identified as SN 1895b in the southern galaxy NGC 5253. This was the first spectrum of a supernova recorded photographically.
