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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The image shows a panoply of stars ... interesting clouds of nebular gas within the galaxy; foreground stars with Webb's diffraction spikes; and background galaxies with neat features like tidal ...

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 ...
