"James Webb Space Telescope Captures Spectacular Neutron Star Collision"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) resulting from a violent collision between two neutron stars. This is the first time JWST has observed emissions from such an event and has detected the creation of heavy elements, including tellurium and lanthanides. The GRB, designated GRB 230307A, is the second-brightest ever seen and lasted around 34 seconds. The team believes the kilonova source of the GRB is located in a bright galaxy around 8.3 million light-years away from Earth. The discovery is currently undergoing peer review.
