Webb telescope spots record number of stars

James Webb Space Telescope spots record-breaking collection of stars in far-flung galaxy
"I never dreamed of Webb seeing them in such large numbers."
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Webb Telescope Unveils Breathtaking Image of 100,000-year-old Protostar
Dr. Michelle Thaller showcased the James Webb Space Telescope’s breathtaking image of a 100,000-year-old protostar. Enveloped in gas and dust, the protostar’s hourglass shape, vibrant clouds, and spiraling accretion disk reveal key star-formation stages.
