About SN Eos
The light we see from it set out 12.7 billion years ago, when the universe was 1.13 billion years old (redshift 5.133).
The map lists it as an explosion or burst and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
The most distant spectroscopically confirmed supernova (Coulter et al. 2026), magnified by the cluster MACS J1931.8−2635.

From Wikipedia
SN Eos is a strongly lensed Type II-P supernova that, as of January 2026, is the most distant spectroscopically confirmed supernova ever discovered. It was named for Eos, the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, because it occurred during the "dawn" of the Universe.
