Webb Captures a Cosmic Forest of Ancient Galaxies

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)'s new "Picture of the Month" shows the mega-monster galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This impressive collection of galaxies is about 4.

5 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Grus (the Crane). However, surrounding Abell S1063 is the true star of the show -- super-distant, ancient galaxies whose light is being warped by the gravitational force of the relatively closer Abell S1063.
