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.
James Webb Space Telescope quiz: How well do you know the world's most powerful telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope can look deeper (and earlier) into the cosmos than any telescope before it. How much do you know about this wonder of technology and its incredible findings?
James Webb Space Telescope Delivers Amazing Horsehead Nebula Imagery
