Astronomers have confirmed what’s at the centre of a supernova, the violent explosive deaths of massive stars.

An international team of astronomers including UCL’s Professor Mike Barlow has discovered the first conclusive evidence that a neutron star exists at the centre of Supernova 1987A, a star explosion observed 37 years ago.

In 1987, Earth's sky was lit up by a rare spectacle.

The JWST allowed astronomers to "see" behind cosmic dust and observe a neutron star at the center of Supernova 1987A.
