NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The galaxy cluster MACS0647 acts as a gravitational lens, bending the light from distant background galaxies. This image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the background galaxy MACS0647-JD lensed into three distinct images. Gravitational lensing allows us to see some of the earliest galaxies in the universe, magnified by massive foreground clusters.
