Gravity drainage

The cosmic microwave background - the oldest light in the universe - traveled vast distances before reaching us. During its long journey, gravitational forces from massive cosmic structures caused its orbit to bend before it was captured by the South Pole Telescope.

The redshift of this galaxy reaches 9.51 meaning that it was seen when the age of the universe was only 550 million years old. The rate of star formation in it is 10 times greater than the Milky Way

A galaxy cluster that is also a giant gravitational lens

The galaxy cluster has so much mass that it acts as a gravitational lens, causing light from more distant galaxies to bend around it. These distortions may appear in many different forms, such as long lines or arcs.
