Webb, Dragon Arc

James Webb telescope spies record-breaking hoard of stars hiding in a warped 'dragon' galaxy
Photos from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed more than 40 stars within the gravitationally lensed "Dragon Arc" galaxy, 6.5 billion light-years from Earth. It is the largest group of individually imaged stars ever seen at such a distance.
Dragon Arc: Webb telescope captures the most distant stars ever seen
The galaxy Dragon Arc was observed along the line of sight to the galaxy cluster Abell 370, which acts as a cosmic magnifying glass.
In "groundbreaking discovery," Webb telescope spots record number of stars in distant galaxy
A phenomenon called gravitational lensing turned a galaxy into a "hall of mirrors of cosmic proportions," allowing for the discovery.
Record-Breaking Trove of Stars Seen Billions of Light-Years Away in Cosmic Dragon
Gravitational lenses have been used previously to resolve individual stars in the distant Universe. Using the microlensing of rogue intracluster stars, a team led by astronomer Yoshinobu Fudamoto of Chiba University in Japan was able to resolve an unprecedented 44 individual stars in the smeared light of the Dragon Arc.
Webb Telescope Spots Record 44 Individual Stars in Distant Galaxy
Telescopes like Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope can observe some incredibly distant galaxies, stretching all the way back to the early universe. However, spotting individual stars in distant galaxies is tricky even for Webb and its massive primary mirror.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered dozens of ancient stars in the distant Dragon Arc galaxy, revealing new insights into the universe's formation and evolution.
Beyond the 'Dragon Arc', a treasure trove of unseen stars
Taking advantage of a cosmic 'double lens,' astronomers resolved more than 40 individual stars in a galaxy so far away its light dates back to when the universe was only half its present age.
