James Webb Space Telescope Reveals 'Cosmic House of Mirrors' Galaxy Cluster

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a phenomenon of gravitational lensing in the galaxy cluster MACS J0454.1-0300, where distant galaxies appear warped and stretched. This 'cosmic house of mirrors' effect allows astronomers to observe galaxies, star clusters, and even individual stars that would otherwise be too far away, including a group of galaxies from 2 billion years after the Big Bang and a single galaxy just 800 million years old.
