The highly advanced James Webb Telescope captured new images of a region in space in which 3 galaxies merged, described as “stunning and unprecedented” snapshots.
Huge galaxy cluster
The images documented the Pandora’s Cluster, where many huge galaxies gather to form a very large giant cluster, as its gravity distorts the time around it, according to the British Daily Mail.
The new view of Pandora’s Cluster brings four shots together into one panoramic image, showing nearly 50,000 sources of near-infrared light.

“The Pandora cluster, as depicted by James Webb, shows us a stronger, wider, deeper and better lens than we’ve seen before,” said astronomer Ivo Labbe of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.
He added that his first reaction to the image was that it was very beautiful, adding: “It looked like a simulation of galaxy formation.”
Earlier, the NASA James Webb Space Telescope was able to monitor star clusters consisting of millions of stars, believed to be the first and oldest stars in the universe.
