JWST's key optics have succeeded again, capturing incredible images of supernova remnants in the nearby Triangulum galaxy M33. In just four fields in M33, the telescope allowed astronomers to resolve 43 separate supernovae in the galaxy, located 2.73 million light-years from Earth. M33 is special because it has regions of star formation that dwarf anything we have in the Milky Way. These are the hosts of monstrous stars, which live short lives, detonating as supernovae.
