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.

James Webb Space Telescope Spies Stars in “Dragon Arc” 6.5 Billon Light Years from Earth
Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have imaged individual stars in the Dragon Arc galaxy thanks to gravitational lensing.
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.
James Webb Telescope Uses Cosmic “Magnifying glass” to Detect Stars 6.5 Billion Light-Years Away
An international team of astronomers has detected over 40 individual stars in a galaxy located 6.5 billion light-years away. The discovery of more than 40 stars in a single galaxy is unprecedented, as prior observations typically revealed only one or two such stars per galaxy.
