Biggest since Big Bang: James Webb telescope unravels origin of 'BOAT'

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a significant finding, pinpointing the origin of the most powerful cosmic explosion since the Big Bang, dubbed the "BOAT" or "brightest of all time." This gamma-ray burst (GRB) was initially spotted on October 9, 2022, emanating from 2.4 billion light-years away in the Sagitta constellation. Scientists, through meticulous investigation, have linked the BOAT to a massive supernova resulting from the collapse of a giant star.
