**Title:** Pulsating Beacons: Revolutionary Measurements Redefine Cupid Stars **Subtitle:** New study reveals deep insights into the structure and evolution of cupid stars through precise radial measurements, offering new approaches to the study of the universe
This image of NGC 5468, a galaxy about 130 million light-years from Earth, combines data from the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. It is the most distant galaxy in which Hubble has detected variable Cepheid stars. These stars serve as important landmarks for measuring the expansion rate of the universe.

The Webb and Hubble space telescopes confirm the universe's expansion rate, the puzzle continues

"This diagram explains how the light from the distant galaxy is disrupted by the gravitational influence of a nearby galaxy that is in the way, acting like a lens and making the distant object appear blurry but bright. This process creates rings of light known as Einstein rings. Analysis of the disruption has revealed some of the star-producing galaxies At a great rate and brightness in the light of 40 trillion suns and it has been magnified by gravitational lensing up to 22 times.
