One of the most remarkable things JWST is optimized for is looking for ultra-distant and ultra-distorted and magnified objects from gravitational lensing. Not only do we have the spectacular JWST sights to behold, but science explainers and diagrams to go along with them!

Although many of the objects have been looked at in detail with other observatories, such as the El Gordo galaxy cluster, the details JWST finds inside are unlike anything anyone else has ever seen! (And NatGeo/Disney let me keep my Moana joke for the cosmic fishhook, at right!)
