By looking up, on a day with good weather.

Not sure what you’re asking. You can see many stars with the naked eye already. That’s just one more. Granted, that one is a bit unusual, in that it’s further away than the stars you would normally see. But supernovas are extremely bright, so that makes it possible to see it from further away.
