I remember when this event happened in 1987. As an amateur astronomer I would've loved to have seen this but it's only visible to Southern Hemisphere observers. I was in California. Rats!
A supernova is one occurrence that I have yet to ever see.

Wow this is amazing! Can't wait to see what the future hold for astronomy in the coming years as technology evolves in a rapid pace!

@starpunk, I remember it as well and like you, I was frustrated that I was on the wrong side of the planet to see it.

The picture's caption incorrectly states it is from Hubble telescope images. Should read James Webb.

A reverse image search has all instances of the photo stating that this is a collection of images taken by the Hubble in 1987. Have you seen something that states this is new and was taken by the Webb?

Digging a little deeper and going to the source study, it was taken by the Hubble in 2022:

My mistake. The more recent images of it taken by JWST can be seen here:
