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 spies record number of stars billions of light years away
The powerful, Tucson-born infrared eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope have notched another record for long-range viewing: the largest number of individual stars ever detected in the distant universe.
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.
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.
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.
