"Webb Telescope Discovers Rare Cosmic Explosion Unveiling Origins of Heavy Elements"

The James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories detected a massive explosion in space, known as GRB 230307A, which was over one million times brighter than the Milky Way Galaxy combined. This explosion, resulting from the merger of two neutron stars, created a rare kilonova and released chemical elements, including tellurium, which is used in various manufacturing processes. The James Webb Space Telescope's ability to study such stellar explosions provides valuable insights into the formation of chemical elements and the evolution of the universe.
