James Webb Space Telescope Reveals the Enigmatic 'El Gordo' Galaxy Cluster. Read full article here

Behold the captivating infrared image of the galaxy cluster El Gordo ("the Fat One") captured by Webb, showcasing an array of hundreds of galaxies with unprecedented clarity. Acting as a gravitational lens, El Gordo skillfully bends and amplifies the light from far-off background galaxies, revealing celestial wonders never seen before in such exquisite detail. Among the most prominent features are the lensed background galaxies, The Thin One (highlighted in box A) and The Fishhook (a mesmerizing red swoosh highlighted in box B).
