Multiply-imaged supernova found in JWST/NIRCam imaging of SMACS J0723.3-7327. Two images are visible, magnified about 25 times, with a predicted time delay of 20-30 days. The photometry suggests a Type IIP near the end of its plateau; its very faint host has no spectroscopic redshift yet. No paper yet; details from the public DD proposals. Position: image 1.
