Unprecedented Discoveries: James Webb Space Telescope Captures Cosmic Collisions and Explosions

An international team of astronomers has detected a long gamma-ray burst in an ancient galaxy, challenging previous understanding of their origins. The burst is believed to have been caused by the merging of two separate neutron stars, rather than the collapse of a massive star or the collision of neutron stars that had been orbiting each other. The researchers used multiple telescopes to study the burst and found evidence supporting their hypothesis, including the absence of heavy stars and the crowded nature of the galaxy's center. They hope future observations will provide further insights into the phenomenon.
