Below are remarkable images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, unveiling unprecedented observations of planetary cycles, stars, and galaxies, while addressing mysteries of the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured 50,000 near-infrared light sources in a new image of the Pandora Cluster – a super galaxy cluster. This galaxy cluster acts like a magnifying glass, allowing astronomers to observe many galaxies located further behind it.
Stars shine brightly in the dark molecular cloud Chamaeleon I, located 630 light-years from Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered NGC 346, one of the most active star-forming regions near the Milky Way, located in a dwarf galaxy known as the Small Magellanic Cloud.
The galaxies known as II ZW96 are entwined in a merging process in the constellation Delphinus.
The James Webb Space Telescope reveals characteristics of a new protostar formation region.
The James Webb Space Telescope captures a new perspective of the Pillars of Creation in mid-infrared light. The dust in the star formation region, rather than the stars themselves, is highlighted, appearing ghostly.
The two stars of the WR140 binary star system create dust rings every eight years.
The James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope capture images of the VV 191 galaxy pair.
The James Webb Space Telescope captures an image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, located 29 million light-years away.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the clearest image of Neptune’s rings in the past 30 years.
The inner region of the Orion Nebula. This image reveals details about how stars and planetary systems are formed.
