Pandora's Cluster: NASA's Webb Discovers New Information

Image
  The most recent deep field image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, showing previously unseen details in a region of space known as Pandora's Cluster, has been made public by astronomers (Abell 2744). Three existing huge clusters of galaxies are seen merging to form a megacluster in Webb's vision. By acting as a natural magnifying glass, the galaxy clusters' combined mass produces a strong gravitational lens that makes it possible to detect many more distant galaxies in the early universe. The Hubble Space Telescope of NASA has only before conducted extensive research on Pandora's center core. In order to create a balance between breadth and depth that would open up a new field in the study of cosmology and galaxy development, astronomers combined Webb's potent infrared detectors with a wide mosaic view of the region's numerous sites of lensing. According to astronomer Rachel Bezanson of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, co-principal inv...
