The Webb telescope spots a supernova from 13 billion years ago

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a supernova from 13 billion years ago, making it the oldest ever recorded by over a billion years. This gamma-ray burst occurred when the universe was only 730 million years old, just 5 percent of its current age. Surprisingly, this ancient explosion closely resembled modern supernovae despite expectations of significant differences due to early stars having fewer heavy elements and shorter lifespans.
