The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a breathtaking new deep field image of the galaxy cluster Abell S1063, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this stunning image of a galaxy cluster so massive that it serves a gravitational ...

In 1987, an enormous blue arc, thought to be hundreds of trillions of miles long, was first considered one of the largest ...

Earlier this year a machine learning algorithm identified up to 5,000 potential gravitational lenses that could transform our ability to chart the evolution of galaxies since the Big Bang.

Now, Slava Turyshev, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, is trying to harness one of these gravitational lenses closer to home, using our sun. In a new paper posted to the pre-print server ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years from Earth (but appearing as it did around 11 billion years ago, when the ...

Astronomers have found an incredible gravitational lens. Thanks to a chance alignment, a foreground cluster of galaxies has magnified the light of not one, but seven background galaxies ...

The James Webb space telescope's deepest view of a single target yet depicts spinning arcs of light that are galaxies from ...

This sparkling stunner brings astronomers one step closer to examining Cosmic Dawn, when the universe was just a few million ...
