The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 44 individual stars in a galaxy halfway across the observable universe.

The discovery provides an opportunity to probe the behavior of dark matter, researchers say.

The newly discovered 44 stars belong to a distant, hidden galaxy whose light has been warped into the image, nicknamed the Dragon.
