- 1JWST image shows galaxies warped by gravitational lensing●# PPOD : Galaxies warp, stretch, and multiply across this view from NASA’s JWST. The golden galaxies belong to the massi
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a view of the galaxy cluster MACS J0454.1-0300, seen as it was about 8 billion years ago. The cluster's enormous gravity bends spacetime, stretching and multiplying the light of more distant galaxies behind it, an effect known as gravitational lensing, producing golden warped arcs across the image.

NASA has published a new astronomy image described as a cosmic house of mirrors, showcasing a deep-space scene in which light from distant galaxies is warped and duplicated into multiple mirror-like images. The effect, typical of gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters, lets astronomers study objects far too faint or distant to see directly.

The Galaxies Showcase returns on 15th October, with organisers calling it the most ambitious line-up in the event's history. The digital presentation will feature games from more than 40 studios and publishers, spanning both major companies and independent developers. Coverage is focusing on how to watch the stream and which announcements to expect from the event.

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for October 5, 2026 showcases M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, highlighting faint tidal streams around it. The feature draws attention to new detail in the galaxy's structure, with space enthusiasts sharing the image widely and discussing what tidal streams reveal about the galaxy's history of mergers and interactions with nearby objects.
