Webb telescope captures warped space, galaxies billions of light-years away

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the fabric of space-time being warped.

In an image captured by the observatory’s NIRCam instrument, distant galaxies are magnified and warped due to an effect called gravitational lensing. 

Gravitational lensing occurs when a celestial object like the foreground galaxy cluster has such a massive gravitational pull that it warps time and space around it.

The lensing galaxy cluster, known as SDSS J1226+2149, lies at a distance of around 6.3 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices.
