Galaxy Cluster That Warps Space-Time , Used by Scientists to Find , 2 Distant Galaxies.<br />Business Insider reports that astronomers have used a <br />galaxy cluster that warps the fabric of space-time to help <br />uncover two of the most distant galaxies ever discovered. .<br />A team at Penn State used NASA's new James Webb <br />Space Telescope to find two galaxies hidden by <br />Pandora's Cluster, otherwise known as Abell 2744. .<br />According to Space.com, the cluster <br />of galaxies is located about <br />3.5 billion light-years from Earth.<br />The mass of those galaxies creates a gravitational <br />lens, which warps space-time and magnifies <br />light coming from far beyond the phenomenon. .<br />This naturally occurring magnifying effect helped <br />astronomers glimpse two never-before-observed <br />galaxies, a staggering 33 billion light-years away.<br />The light from these galaxies <br />is ancient, about three times <br />older than the Earth, Joel Leja, a member of the Penn State research team, via Business Insider.<br />According to the research team, while three <br />other distant galaxies have been detected in <br />the past, these new examples are far larger.<br />Business Insider reports that the newly-discovered <br />galaxies also have a unique shape, which the team <br />described as like a "peanut" and a "fluffy ball.".<br />The reason for the galaxies' odd shapes <br />remains unknown, as they are believed to <br />have formed from similar materials.<br />These early galaxies are like beacons, <br />with light bursting through <br />the very thin hydrogen gas <br />that made up the early universe, Joel Leja, a member of the Penn State research team, via Business Insider.<br />It is only by their light that we can begin <br />to understand the exotic physics that <br />governed the galaxy near the cosmic dawn, Joel Leja, a member of the Penn State research team, via Business Insider
