AI Summary

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers identified 104 magnified stellar events in the Dragon galaxy, about 6.5 billion light‑years away. The count more than doubles the previous record of 44 such detections in that galaxy. These events highlight some of the most luminous stars and may indicate the presence of dark matter, giving a rare view of the galaxy’s stellar population and a possible clue to dark matter’s nature. The findings were published in Astronomy & Astrophysics on September 30.
