Webb Telescope Captures Galactic 'House of Mirrors'

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a galaxy cluster, MACS J0454.1-0300, where distant galaxies appear warped and multiplied.

The image showcases brilliant golden galaxies belonging to the MACS J0454.1-0300 cluster.

Orange galaxies clustered on one side are not part of the cluster but are much more distant.

Their light is bent and magnified by gravitational lensing, a phenomenon caused by the cluster's mass.
