Photos from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed more than 40 stars within the gravitationally lensed "Dragon Arc" ...
Telescopes like Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope can observe some incredibly distant galaxies, stretching all the ...
A phenomenon called gravitational lensing turned a galaxy into a "hall of mirrors of cosmic proportions," allowing for the ...
The galaxy Dragon Arc was observed along the line of sight to the galaxy cluster Abell 370, which acts as a cosmic magnifying glass.
And there’s no better time than the present to see what’s going on beyond Earth. Across January, four of the Solar System’s eight planets (let’s not go there with Pluto) will be visible at the same ...
"I never dreamed of Webb seeing them in such large numbers." ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified 44 individual stars in a galaxy located halfway across the observable ...
The team made the discovery when studying the distant Dragon Arc galaxy, using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The Dragon Arc is located behind a massive cluster of galaxies ...
Gravitational lenses have been used previously to resolve individual stars in the distant Universe. Using the microlensing of ...
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.
Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to reveal 44 stars in a galaxy so far away, its light dates to when the universe was half its age.
