NASA's latest engineering marvel – the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – launched in December 2021 and now orbiting the sun, approximately 1 million miles from Earth. A successor to the renowned Hubble Space Telescope, JWST took over a decade to design and build.
Recently, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released the first clear images of the universe taken by the James Webb Space Telescope – the largest and most powerful telescope ever created to observe the universe from its earliest beginnings.
Cosmic cliffs in the Carina Nebula, created by near-infrared (NIRCam) and mid-infrared (MIRI) data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
A magnified image from JWST's first view of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula reveals stunning detail in the swirling vortices of hot, ionized gas and dust ejected from the nebula by intense ultraviolet radiation.
The SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster, the deepest and sharpest infrared image ever captured.
Comparing previous Hubble images of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, seen in 2017 (left), with the new 2022 JWST image (right), reveals increased brightness and detail resulting from JWST's observations.
This image of the Southern Ring Nebula was taken using near-infrared light from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a revolutionary instrument designed to traverse space to the early universe.
A group of five galaxies appeared close together in the sky, as observed through a combination of near-mid-infrared data from NASA's James Space Telescope.
A side-by-side comparison of Hubble's 2009 image of the Stephan's Quad (left) with the 2022 JWST version (right) reveals astonishing new detail inside and between larger galaxies.
Stephan's Quintet is a cluster of five galaxies, observed by the MIRI instrument from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
A closer, more detailed look at NGC 7319, a bar-distorted spiral galaxy in Stephan's Quadrilateral, and its long tidal tail extending to the left of the image.
The James Webb Space Telescope, previously called the next-generation space telescope, is a space telescope that was built and launched at 7:20 PM on December 25, 2021.
