A very cool result from #JWST: a supernova went off 10 billion years ago in a galaxy that is now 16 billion light-years away from us. Via gravitational lensing, the supernova appears as 3 different images (!); image A arrived first, followed by C (70 days later), then image B (50 days after that). 🧪
This breaks my brain.
Add fantastic as this is, B should have been quicker
Outstanding 🔭
My brain cannot comprehend this, except that it is cool as fuck.
