The James Webb Space Telescope was able to find traces of a neutron star hinding at the center of debris that was left behind by a supernova.

Scientists have finally found the compact object at the heart of the famous supernova of 1987, and it’s not a black hole

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have found the first direct evidence of a neutron star inside a supernova remnant.

<p>In the study, published in the journal <em>Science</em>, researchers used two instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), MIRI and NIRSpec, to observe the supernova at infrared wavelengths and found evidence of heavy argon and sulphur atoms whose outer electrons had been stripped off (i.e. the atoms had been ionised) close to where the star explosion occurred.</p> <p>The team modelled various scenarios and found that these atoms could only have been ion...
