New details of the celestial feature have emerged in the colorful image, which unites the observational powers of Hubble Space Telescope in visible light and the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
Hubble has long been used to search for faint, distant galaxies across different wavelengths of light.
This cosmic effect occurs when closer objects — such as the galactic clusters — act like a magnifying glass for distant objects.
The Webb and Hubble composite image includes "Mothra," a star system magnified by the galactic cluster pair as well as another unseen object.
NASA/ESA/CSA/STScIThe team nicknamed the star system Mothra due to its extreme magnification and brightness.
