NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovers 10 times more early-universe supernovae.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovers 10 times more supernovae in the early universe than previously known, using the JADES Deep Field from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey program. The team identifies around 80 objects that changed in brightness over time, most being transients from exploding stars or supernovae. The findings provide a detailed glimpse of supernovae during the universe's early stages.
