TLDR

A mysterious 10-second signal from 13 billion light years away has been detected by the SVOM satellite and confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope. This ancient explosion, originating from a supernova that occurred when the universe was just 730 million years old, is the most distant of its kind ever observed. The detection challenges previous assumptions about early universe star formation, as the supernova closely resembles modern supernovae, suggesting that star death processes were already well underway early in the universe's history.
