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.
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
The discovery marks the largest number of individual stars ever detected in the distant universe. The team's findings, which were published Monday in the journal Nature, also unveil a method of investigating dark matter,
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.
