It is to be seen if the JWST would be able to help resolve Cosmic enigmas like dark energy the unknown 68 per cent of the universes content which is responsible for its accelerating expansion and the elusive dark matter that makes up another 27 per cent of the Universe and is believed crucial to galaxy formation. There is also a recent mystery involving the so-called Fast Radio Bursts the unexplained flashes of radiation that last for milliseconds and are detectable from billions of light-years away but not attributable to any source
Hubble's data, combined with other observations of the doomed star from space- and ground-based telescopes, may give astronomers an early warning.
The image of the companion star was seen in the fading afterglow of that supernova, called SN 2001ig
