New images captured by James Webb are helping astronomers answer questions about the early universe by peering deeper than ever before.
uses the galaxy cluster MACS0647 as a cosmic magnifying glass, and it could answer questions surrounding the early universe.
Gravitational lensing, which literally bends light, magnifying things behind it, allowed the team to see more about MACS0647-JD, a galactic system believed to be part of the early universe, which astronomers discovered 10 years ago using Hubble. Questions about this early galaxy have been reeling in astronomers’ minds for a decade, and now they may finally get some answers.

What astronomers believed to be just one galaxy before, could actually be two. That’s because the newest image from Webb gives us a greater look at the galaxy known as MACS0647-JD.
It’s still too small to tell for sure, but with more observations, Webb could give us a more definitive answer thanks to its infrared systems. MACS0647-JD is believed to be from the first 400 million years of our universe, but if we’ve found two galaxies instead of one, we could be able to learn even more about those early moments, which would answer more of our questions about the early universe., we can unlock more of our universe’s secrets.
