Webb telescope spots record number of stars

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 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.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 44 individual stars in a gorgeous portrait of a distant galaxy.
James Webb Space Telescope Delivers Amazing Horsehead Nebula Imagery
The NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of the Horse-head Nebula. It is the sharpest infrared imagery to date. The iconic nebula is about 1300 light-years away. Credit: ESA/Webb,
History Made As Webb Telescope Finds 44 Stars Near Big Bang — Here’s How It Did It
Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have observed a galaxy nearly 6.5 billion light-years from Earth, and identified 44 individual stars.
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.
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.
Black holes can squash star formation, James Webb Space Telescope finds
"The Spiderweb protocluster is an ideal laboratory for investigating the relationship between black holes and star formation in detail."
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.
James Webb Space Telescope quiz: How well do you know the world's most powerful telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope can look deeper (and earlier) into the cosmos than any telescope before it. How much do you know about this wonder of technology and its incredible findings?
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.
