Second-epoch JWST/MIRI-MRS mid-IR spectra of SN 1987A show little overall dust evolution but inner equatorial ring fading, rapid ejecta line changes, some ER line fading, first mid-IR H2 from ejecta, and evidence that dense Fe-rich ejecta has reached the reverse shock.

The evolution of the mid-infrared spectrum of SN 1987A observed with the JWST/MIRI-MRS
Second-epoch JWST/MIRI-MRS mid-IR spectra of SN 1987A show little overall dust evolution but inner equatorial ring fading, rapid ejecta line changes, some ER line fading, first mid-IR H2 from ejecta, and evidence that dense Fe-rich ejecta has reached the reverse shock.
