  • NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a striking image of MACS J1149.5+2223, a colossal galaxy cluster about five billion light-years away in the constellation Leo. The cluster’s immense gravity bends light from background galaxies, creating spectacular gravitational lensing effects visible as arcs and distorted shapes.
  • Among the lensed galaxies is a spiral resembling a pink jellyfish, notable for hosting the most distant star and a supernova observed via lensing. The observation offers critical insights into galaxy formation, stellar evolution, and the large-scale structure of the Universe.
