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.
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.
How astronomers used gravitational lensing to discover 44 new stars in distant galaxy
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a unique image that revealed 44 individual stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light-years away from the Milky Way.
How astronomers discovered 44 new stars in a distant galaxy
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most complex space observatory that serves thousands of astronomers around the world,
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.
