Dragon Arc: Webb telescope captures the most distant stars ever …
2 days ago · The Dragon Arc. The galaxy, known as the Dragon Arc, was observed along the line of sight to the galaxy cluster Abell 370, which acts as a cosmic magnifying glass. The cluster’s gravitational field stretches and amplifies the light from the Dragon Arc, transforming its spiral structure into an elongated arc.
