  SN2014J is the closest supernova of type Ia that occured in the last 40
years. This provides an opportunity for unprecedented observational detail and
coverage in many astronomical bands, which will help to better understand the
still unknown astrophysics of these supernovae. For the first time, such an
event occurs sufficiently nearby so that also gamma rays are able to contribute
to such investigations. This is important, as the primary source of the
supernova light is the radioactive energy from about 0.5 M$_\odot$ of $^{56}$Ni
produced in the explosion, and the gamma rays associated with this decay make
the supernova shine for months. The INTEGRAL gamma-ray observatory of ESA has
followed the supernova emission for almost 5 months. The characteristic gamma
ray lines from the $^{56}$Ni decay chain through $^{56}$Co to $^{56}$Fe have
been measured. We discuss these observations, and the implications of the
measured gamma-ray line characteristics as they evolve.
