NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope identified the source of a super bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst: a supernova that exploded when the universe was only 730 million years old. Webb’s high-resolution near-infrared images also detected the supernova’s host galaxy. Its quick-turn observations verified data taken by other telescopes that followed bright emission from a gamma-ray burst that came onto the scene in mid-March.
