  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 07, 2025 Astronomers have captured images of over 40 individual stars in a galaxy so distant that its light has traveled for nearly 6.5 billion years to reach Earth, dating back to when the universe was only half its current age. This achievement was made possible through the combined power of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a cosmic phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. The galaxy, referred to as the Dragon Arc, is positioned behind a massive galaxy cluster called Abell 370. The immense ... read more |
