Peering deeply into the cosmos, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is giving scientists their first detailed glimpse of supernovae from a time when our universe was just a small fraction of its current age. A team using Webb data has identified 10 times more supernovae in the early universe than were previously known. A few of the newfound exploding stars are the most distant examples of their type, including those used to measure the universe's expansion rate.

The JWST has proved itself to be a "supernova discovery machine" by finding 80 exploding stars in the infant universe including the most distant and earliest supernova ever seen.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has enabled astronomers to discover supernovae from the early Universe.

Using data from a deep Webb survey of the early universe, a team has identified 10 times more far-off supernovae than were previously known. This study is
