We used the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment during the Astro-2 mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, to obtain ultraviolet spectropolarimetry of three classical novae that had recently gone into outburst. All three novae appear to have intrinsic polarization, with polarization changes across emission lines. This result indicates that, geometrically, the ejecta were quite aspherical.
