- The Hubble Space Telescope captures a gravitationally lensed galaxy. Gravitational lensing occurs when a very massive celestial body causes a sufficient curvature of spacetime https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/science-environment/2113238-incredible-hubble-image-shows-a-gravitationally-lensed-galaxy 77 comments space
- A star more than 27 billion light years from Earth is the most distant individual one we have seen. We can’t be sure exactly how much the star is being magnified by lensing, making our understanding of its size uncertain, but it is most likely between 50 and 100 times the mass of the sun. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04449-y 17 comments science
