Webb Focuses on Behemoth Galaxy Cluster: Abell S1063

The James Webb Space Telescope, jointly managed by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), has captured a massive, distant galaxy cluster in this most intensive observation of a single object ever made by the telescope, which took about 120 hours to complete.

The new image captured by the space telescope, with the cluster of galaxies Abell S1063, in the centre, required more than 120 hours of observation, making it the longest period during which the space telescope focused on a single targetThe James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) realized the "deepest view to date" of the Universe on a single target. The image reveals galaxies forming in its distant past, the CNRS and the European Space Agency (ESA) s…

Galaxy Cluster Abell S1063: Glimpses of the Distant Past

Galaxy Cluster Abell S1063: Glimpses of the Distant Past | Webb TelescopeThe eye is first drawn, in this new NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope picture, to the central mega-monster that is galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This behemoth collection of galaxies, lying 4.5 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Grus (the Crane), dominates the scene. Looking more closely, this dense collection of heavy…

In this new NASA/ESA/CSA Space Telescope James Webb Month Image, the look is directed to the central megamonster, the galaxy cluster Abell S1063, which functions as a cosmic magnifying glass.
