Interestingly, this image was taken using the James Webb Space Telescope. The device showed that gravitational lensing allows us to see several projections of the same galaxy at the same time.
By the way, this phenomenon occurs because a large cluster of galaxies distorts space and time, thus creating the illusion of multiple images of the galaxy in the background.
Researchers from Saint Mary’s University in Canada say such a rare phenomenon is extremely rare; such configurations have only been discovered a few times in the entire universe.
Let’s admit it – it looks very interesting.
