CTOnews.com, November 15 (Xinhua) scientists built the James Webb Space Telescope to replace the aging Hubble Space Telescope, but the two are not competing. More often, the two work together to help astronomers explore the mysteries of the universe.

Astronomers have recently combined two space telescopes to study the MACS0416 galaxy cluster, combining visible and infrared light to produce a "panchromatic" composite image. "this is one of the most comprehensive views of the universe in the history of mankind," according to the ESA Hubble website.

"this image reveals a wealth of details, which can only be achieved by combining the power of two space telescopes," ESA explained. "A large number of galaxies and evolving light sources outside the galaxy cluster can be seen in the image, which may be caused by gravitational lenses, distorting and magnifying light."

This annotated image shows the different wavelength filters used by each telescope.

The Hubble Telescope on the left and the James Webb Space Telescope on the right. MACS0416 is a galaxy cluster about 4.3 billion light-years from Earth. MACS J0416.1-2403 is a galaxy cluster with a redshift of zn 0.397, located in the constellation Bojiang. CTOnews.com attached screenshots of some of the areas in the picture are as follows:

The mass is 160 trillion times that of the sun in the range of 200 kpc. If its radius is 950 kpc, its total mass is 1.15 x 10 times that of the sun.

The galaxy cluster was discovered by a massive cluster of galaxies. The galaxy cluster produces a gravitational lens effect on galaxies far behind it, resulting in multiple images of a galaxy.
