Thanks to this image, astronomers will be able to obtain more data about the processes taking place in very distant galaxies.

The Webb Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of the cosmos. Using the NIRCam instrument, which sees space in the near infrared, the device captured a distant galaxy called the Cosmic Seahorse. Space writes about it.

The image shows dozens of galaxies. The Cosmic Seahorse is located below in the form of arcs of light.

“In this image, the gravitational lensing is due to a cluster of galaxies called SDSS J1226+2149, which is about 6.3 billion light-years from Earth. The Space Seahorse galaxy is further away and in the image is a large bright spot near the center of the gravitational lens The brightness of this galaxy increases dramatically and it allows astronomers to study the process of forming new stars in this very distant object.

The image also shows gravitational lensing, which is due to a cluster of galaxies called SDSS J1226+2149. It is located at a distance of approximately 6.3 billion light years from Earth.

And the Space Seahorse galaxy itself is even further away.
