Webb telescope stares deeper into space than ever, revealing warped light from galaxies born near the dawn of time

AI Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its deepest image yet, focusing on the galaxy cluster Abell S1063 for over 120 hours. This image, one of the deepest ever taken of the cosmos, reveals warped arcs of light from distant galaxies magnified by the cluster's gravity. Scientists hope to study these arcs to understand galaxy formation during the universe's early stages, the Cosmic Dawn. The image comprises nine near-infrared shots and builds on Webb's groundbreaking discoveries, including unexpectedly large early galaxies.
