This observation from the James Webb Space Telescope features the massive galaxy cluster RX J2129, located around billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. Gravitational lensing can cause background objects to appear strangely distorted, as can be seen by the concentric arcs of light in the upper right of this image. As well as distorting the images of background objects, gravitational lenses can cause distant objects to appear much brighter than they would otherwise. Credit: NASA/ESA/CSA
