The NASA/ESA/CSA 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.

This artist’s concept shows the violent collision of two massive objects in orbit around the star Fomalhaut. “Spotting a new light source in the dust belt around a star was surprising. We did not expect that at all,” said Northwestern’s Jason Wang.

The newly identified spiral galaxy Alaknanda, shown in the inset, appears in shorter-wavelength observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. Bright foreground galaxies from the Abell 2744 cluster are also visible in the same field.
