Caption

: James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image of the highly distorted red galaxy MRG-M0138 seen through a foreground cluster of galaxies (white sources). Via the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, the same background galaxy is multiply imaged four times and the white square shows the most magnified image which was studied by Newman and colleagues using the NIRSpec Integral Field Spectrograph onboard JWST. The data measures the velocity for each portion of the image within the white square. The top bar shows an angular scale of 5 arcsec.
