Webb telescope spots record number of stars

James Webb Space Telescope spots record-breaking collection of stars in far-flung galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 44 individual stars in a gorgeous portrait of a distant galaxy.
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.
Webb telescope finds record 44 stars
In the distant galaxy, the team discovered 44 stars, made visible through the phenomenon of gravitational lensing and the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) exceptional ability to collect light.
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.
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.
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.
