NASA unveiled the first full colored image from the James Webb telescope. It shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 (SMACS J0723.3-7327) which acts as a gravitational lens and magnifies light coming from behind.
This is a recently released Hubble's image of the COSMOS field - part of the sky used by astronomers to study the distant universe. It contains pictures of many galaxies, some of them with redshift over 2. That means their light has been stretched by the expansion of the universe into the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
New research shows that the distribution of massive, medium and light stars vary greatly between close and distant galaxies. It looks like more distant galaxies tend to have more of the massive stars.
