James Webb telescope breaks own record, spots oldest star explosion ever known
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope has identified the universe’s most ancient supernova to date. This milestone not only redefines astronomical records but clarifies how the universe’s first stars and supermassive black holes came to be.
The latest known supernova has been recorded with the James-Webb telescope. Previously, only a gamma radiation outbreak was observed. (James-Webb telescope, Nasa)
The James-Webb space telescope detected a supernova dating back 13 billion years, thus providing an unprecedented insight into the early stages of the Universe and enriching the astronomers' understanding of cosmic origins.

Artwork by NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Leah Gustak The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a supernova explosion for the first time, occurring just 730 million years after the universe began. The discovery was announced by NASA’s observatory. It all began on March 14, when a powerful gamma-ray burst was detected. Less than an hour and a half la…
The space observatory has confirmed the origin of a gamma-ray burst produced when the universe was only 730 million years old and has managed, for the first time in such a remote case, to detect the galaxy where the star exploded. 'Nature
