Results of observations carried out during the past year and a half after the explosion of SN1987A (February 23 1987), show strong evidence for asymmetry in the expanding shell. The departure from spherical symmetry in SN1987A has important implications for further detailed modeling of supernovae explosions, light curves and spectra.
