Just their birth “galaxy monster” It was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope while observing the eMACS J1353.7+4329 unique galaxy cluster in the constellation Canes Venatici. The object was found thanks to the Monsters in the Making program, which used two telescopes to observe five unique clusters at different wavelengths.
Observations are made possible by the Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Astronomers participating in these observations are expected to gain data that will be used in future studies of massive gravitational lensing, which will already be observed and searched for by more modern telescopes, such as the James Webb Telescope.
Gravitational lensing will make it possible to detect distant galaxies
This finding is very significant because it relates to the aforementioned gravitational lensing, the effects of which can be seen in the attached image as bright words, mixed with the eMACS J1353.7+4329 cluster. A sufficiently massive celestial body can distort space-time, causing the path of light to bend Noticeably around the body, as if passing through a huge lens. For this reason, the lens can also magnify objects very far away to us that would otherwise be impossible to detect or difficult to observe.
