NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has found compelling evidence suggesting the presence of a neutron star at the core of a young supernova.

<p>NASA&rsquo;s James Webb Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a recently observed supernova. The supernova, known as SN 1987A, was a core-collapse supernova, meaning the compacted remains at its core formed either a neutron star or a black hole. Evidence for such a compact object has long been sought, and while indirect evidence for the presence of a neutron star has previously been found, this is the first time that the effects of high-energy emission from the probable young neutron star have been detected.</p>

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

Two teams of scientists discovered the presence of carbon dioxide on the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.
