The James Webb Space Telescope, renowned for its high-resolution infrared imaging, utilized gravitational lensing from a massive foreground galaxy cluster to enhance the visibility of a distant galaxy.
Researchers identified 10 distinct star clusters within the warped galaxy, discovering that its star formation occurred in staggered phases rather than all at once.
Firefly Sparkle’s nearest companions, just 6,500 and 42,000 light-years away, are not only close but are also believed to be orbiting one another.
The Webb telescope is unraveling cosmic mysteries, focusing on both our solar system and distant worlds, with contributions from NASA, ESA, and CSA.
