The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered one of the earliest star-killing supernovas ever seen.

The supernova, dubbed AT 2023adsv , erupted around 11.4 billion years ago in a massive early galaxy.

Excitingly, the high-energy blast seems to have been excessively violent.

It could help scientists add more detail to the cosmic picture of stellar life and death.

2023adsv exploded with around twice the energy of the average supernova triggered by nearby massive stars.

The JWST will get a hand in hunting for the earliest and most distant cosmic explosion in 2026 .

NASA is set to launch its next major space telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

The research was presented at the 245th meeting of the AAS on Monday .
