Astronomers say one of the universe’s largest stars has dramatically changed since 2014, possibly entering a rare final phase that could end in a spectacular supernova explosion.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the first published detection of a supernova progenitor in galaxy NGC 1637, revealing a red supergiant star before explosion.

NASA said its Webb telescope has observed the little-studied PMR 1, nicknamed the “Exposed Cranium” nebula.

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified the progenitor star of supernova 2025pht, a stellar explosion that occurred 40 million years ago in the galaxy NGC 1637. This discovery, detailed in a ...
