TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of Pandora's Cluster, a region of space where multiple galaxy clusters are merging, using gravitational lensing to magnify much more distant galaxies behind it. The image displays roughly 50,000 sources of near-infrared light, including some never-before-seen features, and offers new insight into cosmology and galaxy evolution. The UNCOVER team used Webb's Near-Infrared Camera to capture the cluster and plans to make follow-up observations with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph in the summer of 2023.
