There was a super nova in human history that was bright enough to cast a shadow on a moonless night. I believe it lasted for a few days.

So if one is between stars and was lucky enough to have one go off, would have some level of illumination, but maybe very faint.

Depends on how close the are to that star that went boom. It might be VERY bright.
