A phenomenon called gravitational lensing turned a galaxy into a "hall of mirrors of cosmic proportions," allowing for the discovery.
The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research.
The galaxy Dragon Arc was observed along the line of sight to the galaxy cluster Abell 370, which acts as a cosmic magnifying glass.
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.
