Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to reveal 44 stars in a galaxy so far away, its light dates to when the universe was half its age.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy.As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [9]

Powerful laser guide star system at the Paranal Observatory. The actual laser guide star is the small spot above the apparent end of the laser beam. A laser guide star is an artificial star image created for use in astronomical adaptive optics systems, which are employed in large telescopes in order to correct atmospheric distortion of light (called astronomical seeing).
