Astronomers used gravitational lensing to discover 44 new stars in distant galaxy

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a historic discovery by detecting 44 new stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light-years away.

Using gravitational lensing, where light from distant stars is magnified by a galaxy cluster, Webb captured an image revealing individual stars that were previously undetectable.

The stars, many of which are red supergiants, were found in the “Dragon Arc” beyond the Abell 370 galaxy cluster.

This breakthrough allows astronomers to study individual stars in distant galaxies, offering new insights into dark matter and the early universe, ABC News has reported.
