James Webb Telescope shares stunning ‘String of Pearls’ of the closest supernova | Watch

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning image of SN1987A, a supernova situated just 170,000 light-years away from Earth. The image reveals intricate details of the supernova, including a series of luminous rings composed of gases and dust expelled by the dying star. The JWST's superior sensitivity and resolution have allowed astronomers to see new features, such as crescents or arcs of emission within the rings. The telescope's capabilities are expected to provide valuable insights into the ongoing transformations of SN1987A for the next 20 years.

Potential presence of primitive lunar mantle materials on Chandrayaan-3 landing site: Study

Chandrayaan-3's landing site revealed high sulphur levels, suggesting presence of primitive lunar mantle materials from the South Pole-Aitken basin's formation 4.3 billion years ago, offering insights into early lunar evolution and composition.
