James Webb telescope spies record-breaking hoard of stars hiding in a warped 'dragon' galaxy
Astronomers armed with exceptionally detailed James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images have discovered dozens of ancient stars from a distant, gravitationally warped galaxy. The stellar haul, which was uncovered thanks to a space-time phenomenon predicted by Einstein,
Record-Breaking View: Webb Uses Physics Trick to Spot 44 Distant Stars in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
The cutting-edge observatory is charged with seeing some of the earliest visible light, and the recent image achieves a new milestone in stellar astronomy.
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.
In "groundbreaking discovery," 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.
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.
Webb Telescope Spots Record 44 Individual Stars in Distant Galaxy
Telescopes like Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope can observe some incredibly distant galaxies, stretching all the way back to the early universe. However, spotting individual stars in distant galaxies is tricky even for Webb and its massive primary mirror.
In 'groundbreaking' study, astronomers detect record number of stars in distant galaxy
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.
