How would you go about finding the brightest, distant galaxies possible? For our Hubble Space Telescope (NASAHubble) team, they are looking at 41 massive galaxy clusters to find the celestial objects for the upcoming Webb Space Telescope (NASAWebb) to study. This new sparkling view shows one of the clusters of galaxies along with a few homeless stars. The enormous gravitational influence of such clusters distorts the space around them in such a way that they can be used as giant cosmic lenses that magnify distant background galaxies. Studying some of the earliest galaxies in the universe will tell us more about our cosmic origins.
