The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a striking image of SN1987A, a supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, just 170,000 light-years away from Earth. This historic supernova, which exploded in 1987, marked the nearest and brightest such event visible from Earth in almost four centuries. These findings offer valuable information about the behavior of supernova remnants and their interactions with circumstellar debris.
