JWST Sees the Same Supernova Three Times in an Epic Gravitational Lens
NASA/European Space Agency (ESA)/Canadian Space Agency (CSA) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission continues to dazzle and amaze with every image it beams back to Earth, and a recent observation depicting not one, not two, but three images of the same galaxy has been no different, as they proudly tweeted on February 28, 2023. But how can JWST observe three images of the same object at once? This is done thanks to a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, which happens when light is bent or warped around a massive celestial object that emits an enormous amount of gravity, most commonly a star like our Sun, but can also happen with massive galaxies, as well.
