The color curves and visual light curves for the supernovae of 1572 and 1604 are investigated. The most probable photometric classes of the 1572, 1604, 1054, 1006, and 1181 supernovae are determined, as well as the magnitude and date at maximum light. Distances are estimated and are consistent with those derived from the supernova remnants. A new explanation is offered for the conflict between the positions of the 1054 outburst and of M1, based on consideration of four other ''Gates of the Heavens'' similar to the Gate near M1. Arranged in chronological order, the definite and presumptive observations of the 1054, 1006, and 1181 supernovae provide indications as to their photometric properties.
