A cosmic magnifying glass could reveal the same supernova two more times in roughly 70 years

Using JWST, astronomers detected SN Ares, a Type IIb supernova, in a gravitationally lensed host galaxy behind the cluster MACS J0308.9+2645. The team predicts two additional images will arrive in roughly 73 and 76 years, delays that could later help constrain the universe's expansion rate.
