JWST Observes a Kilonova: A Gamma-Ray Burst That Also Produces Tellurium, Iodine, and Thorium
Our modern perspective on the Universe is, simultaneously, both a triumph and a tragedy.
Despite all we've learned about the Universe, including what it looks like and what exists in it, there remain many cosmic unknowns.
How do supermassive black holes form and grow early on?
What were the very first stars like?
What's in the atmospheres of "super-Earth" planets?
There are still too many questions that we don't have answers to.
Luckily, the appearance of James Webb could help us turn the tables.
The launch of the supreme observatory raised the curtain on a new era in astronomy, gathering fresh clues relating to questions we could only dream of answering with its predecessors.
And now, in its latest discovery, James Webb continues to shock the whole world by detecting an immense, rare explosion a million times brighter than our galaxy!
