Travel through a massive, space-time warping cluster of galaxies, captured by Hubble. Known as Abell 209, this galaxy cluster's immense mass is strong enough to bend the fabric of space-time itself and create warped and magnified images of background galaxies and stars in a process called gravitational lensing. This effect can be seen as the streaky, slightly curved galaxies within the cluster’s golden glow. Abell 209 is located a whopping 2.8 billion light-years away. Music credit: "Star Bound"

You might have missed these extraordinary James Webb Space Telescope images, but Dr. Stefanie Milam, JWST Project Scientist at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is here to change that. 🔭 Her top 3 picks from 2025 start with Pismis 24, a dazzling region of newborn stars nestled within the Lobster Nebula. One towering gas spire in the image is so massive, it could hold over 200 solar systems at its tip. Next, Webb captured Abell S1063, a galaxy cluster so dense it bends light

Hammel, a NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Planetary Astronomer, breaks down what the colors and shapes we see in images from the #JWST really mean. #WomenoftheWebb #astrophotography #spaceimages #jameswebbspacetelescope #astronomy #nasa #musumofscience #scienceforall #boston | Museum of Science, Boston | Facebook
