JWST captures stunning views of alien worlds and cosmic phenomena.
TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the Cosmic Seahorse galaxy through a gravitational lens created by the galaxy cluster SDSS J1226+2149. Gravitational lensing magnifies the light from distant galaxies, allowing scientists to study star formation in those galaxies. The image is part of a program utilizing Webb's powerful imaging capabilities to provide new insights into star formation in distant, gravitationally lensed galaxies.
