Scientists have confirmed the most distant supernova ever observed, exploding just 730 million years after the Big Bang. Detected through a powerful gamma-ray burst and later verified by the James Webb Space Telescope, the event offers a rare glimpse of the deaths of the universe’s first stars during the era of reionisation and challenges expectations about early stellar explosions.
