The James Webb Space Telescope confirms that a neutron star was born from supernova SN 1987A
An article published in the journal “Science” reports new evidence that the supernova SN 1987A generated a pulsar. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the effects of high-energy emissions coming from the pulsar or the pulsar wind nebula, a nebula that surrounds it and is powered by the pulsar. These are confirmations of conclusions reached by other teams of researchers in recent years using observations in other electromagnetic bands.
