SN 1987A has illuminated a great diversity of astrophysical processes – from neutrino emission during core collapse to the structure of the interstellar medium on a scale of hundreds of parsecs. Here I cover the evolution of SN 1987A from the outside in; the topics are interstellar light echoes, circumstellar light echoes, circumstellar shock waves, late emission and structure of the ejecta, and the effects of a central neutron star.
