James Webb Space Telescope spots record-breaking collection of stars in far-flung galaxy
"I never dreamed of Webb seeing them in such large numbers."
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.
12 Billion-Year-Old Massive Spiral Galaxy Found by Webb Telescope
The James Webb Telescope has spotted a massive spiral galaxy, and its extreme age could challenge current understanding of galaxy formation.
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.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope discovers over 40 stars in Dragon Arc galaxy using gravitational lensing
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope identified over 40 stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light-years away, thanks to gravitational lensing through galaxy cluster Abell 370. This unprecedented observation offers insights into early galaxy formation and the role of dark matter.
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.
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.
In 'groundbreaking' study, astronomers detect record number of stars in distant galaxy
The discovery marks the largest number of individual stars ever detected in the distant universe. The team's findings, which were published Monday in the journal Nature, also unveil a method of investigating dark matter,
NASA’s Webb Telescope Makes History by Discovering 44 Stars in a Galaxy Billions of Light-Years Away
The cosmos is full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to reveal them in breathtaking detail. In a monumental achievement, astronomers have used JWST to detect 44 individual stars in a galaxy located 6.
