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.
