SN 1987A
SUPERNOVA · the explosion of a lifetime
The closest supernova in almost four centuries, bright enough to see with the naked eye in 1987. Hours before its light arrived, underground detectors caught a burst of ghostly neutrinos from the collapsing core, the first time we ever received a message from inside a dying star. Telescopes have watched its glowing rings evolve ever since, and Webb finally spotted the neutron star born in the blast.
