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.

"I never dreamed of Webb seeing them in such large numbers."
Webb Telescope Spots Record 44 Individual Stars in Distant Galaxy
Telescopes like Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope can observe some incredibly distant galaxies, stretching all the way back to the early universe. However, spotting individual stars in distant galaxies is tricky even for Webb and its massive primary mirror.
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.
In 'groundbreaking' study, astronomers detect record number of stars in distant galaxy
The discovery marks the largest number of individual stars ever detected in the distant universe. The team's findings, which were published Monday in the journal Nature, also unveil a method of investigating dark matter,
NASA’s Webb Telescope Makes History by Discovering 44 Stars in a Galaxy Billions of Light-Years Away
The cosmos is full of secrets waiting to be uncovered, and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to reveal them in breathtaking detail. In a monumental achievement, astronomers have used JWST to detect 44 individual stars in a galaxy located 6.
