Close-up: A galactic house of mirrors—MACS J0454.1-0300 in Orion
Close-up: A galactic house of mirrors—MACS J0454.1-0300 in Orion | Webb TelescopeThis NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope picture features galaxies in incredible detail that have been warped and multiplied like they have stepped into a house of mirrors. The brilliant golden galaxies splashed across this image belong to a galaxy cluster called MACS J0454.1-0300. The orange galaxies concentrated on one side …
The James Webb Space Telescope has made visible behind the galaxy cluster MACS J0454.10300 two unusual gravitational lens configurations that greatly enlarge tiny galaxy structures. Some light nodes appear more than 300-fold amplified and can be narrowed down to sizes below a parsec. The analysis opens up a rare view of galaxies from the first billion years of the universe. Bengaluru (India). Galaxial clusters can distract and amplify the light …
The James Webb photographs the MACS cluster J0454.1-0300, whose gravity deforms and multiplies the light of distant galaxies as in a house of mirrors.The entry The James Webb portrays a cosmic ‘mirrors house’: the gravitational lens that multiplies galaxies appears first on Merca2.
Galaxies in a cosmic house of mirrors
Image: This NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features galaxies in great detail that have been warped and multiplied like they’ve stepped into a house of mirrors. The brilliant golden galaxies splashed across this image belong to a galaxy cluster called MACS J0454.1-0300. The orange galaxies concentrated on one side of the cluster are not actually part of the cluster and are much farther away from us.MACS J0454.1-03…
