Scientists are using Webb to study star formation in a distant galaxy.
. The Cosmic Seahorse galaxy is the large, bright smudge near the core of the gravitational lens, and it's physically located behind the cluster.
The benefit of gravitational lensing is that it not only bends light but magnifies it, too, just like alens. That allows scientists to see extremely distant galaxies like the Cosmic Seahorse, and they can even study star formation in those distant galaxies. In fact, that's the focus of one program utilizing Webb's powerful imaging capabilities. Indeed, the new photo is just one in a series of Webb images that will contribute to astronomers' research on star formation in distant galaxies.
