SPT0418-47 is a gravitationally lensed, high-redshift, dusty star-forming galaxy, discovered with the South Pole Telescope.^[3] Observations with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed the presence of a companion galaxy,^[4]^[5] which may indicate that SPT0418-47 is a merging system of galaxies.
