More Information

■ Gravitational Lensing :-

• NASA is planning to investigate how new stars are born by using James Webb Space Telescope. For this, they will take the help of a natural phenomenon called “gravitational lensing”.

• The programme is called Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and Their Extended Star Formation, or TEMPLATES.

• The phenomenon of Gravitational Lensing occurs when a huge amount of matter, such as a massive galaxy or cluster of galaxies, creates a gravitational field that distorts and magnifies the light from objects behind it, but in the same line of sight.

• The large celestial objects will magnify the light from distant galaxies that are at or near the peak of star formation. These celestial object act as natural, cosmic telescopes; they are called gravitational lenses.
