The James Webb Telescope, NASA's highly-anticipated successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, has recently captured an image of a star that is set to explode with the biggest bang ever seen in the univ [{ "selector": ".tnlms-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The star, which is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia, is known as VY Canis Majoris.

Scientists have been monitoring VY Canis Majoris for several years, as it is in the late stages of its life and is expected to explode in a supernova event in the near future.
