In this episode, we explore the stunning new image of SN 1987A, one of the most studied supernovae in history, taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. We see how Webb’s infrared vision reveals new features within the supernova remnant, such as small crescent-like structures that may be part of the outer layers of gas ejected by the explosion. We also compare Webb’s image with previous images taken by other telescopes, and discuss how Webb’s image can help us understand how supernovae shape their surroundings and influence the evolution of galaxies.
