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.
History Made As Webb Telescope Finds 44 Stars Near Big Bang — Here’s How It Did It
Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have observed a galaxy nearly 6.5 billion light-years from Earth, and identified 44 individual stars.
4K Galaxy Footage - James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope captured massive galaxy cluster RX J2129. located about 3.2 billion light-years away. A ‘supernova-hosting galaxy’ can be seen three times, at 3 different points in time,
Webb telescope finds record 44 stars
In the distant galaxy, the team discovered 44 stars, made visible through the phenomenon of gravitational lensing and the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) exceptional ability to collect light.
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.
