Webb’s view makes the “crown” of the sombrero invisible, changing the appearance of the galaxy to resemble a bull’s-eye. Meanwhile, distant galaxies glimmer in the background of the image.

A massive galaxy cluster, Abell S1063, forms a gravitation lens, revealing the warped light from more distant galaxies dating ...

Take, for example, the beautiful image of the galaxy cluster Abell 1689 captured ... Blue-white arcs among the yellow galaxies are lensed images of background objects seen within gravity’s ...

A massive galaxy cluster shines in a new telescope image, distorting the view of more distant galaxies in the background. The galaxy cluster, named Abell 1351, is located some 4 billion light ...

Galactic mergers are events that have been observed many times by astronomers in space. However, one captured by the Hubble ...

Together, the blue stars and bubble are part of a dwarf galaxy that extends beyond the image border. Background galaxies are scattered across the image, with some particularly prominent spirals ...

Because of the gravity distortions, the image of the background galaxy is repeated several times — a hallmark feature of gravitational lenses, researchers said. Breaking space news, the latest ...
