A striking upgrade: the Crystal Ball Nebula (NGC 1514) as seen by WISE compared to Webb. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, NASA-JPL, Caltech, UCLA, Michael Ressler (NASA-JPL), Dave Jones (IAC)

Witness how the immense gravity of two orbiting supermassive black holes bends and distorts the light around them. The larger black hole is 200 million times the mass of the Sun! (Credit: NASA Goddard / Jeremy Schnittman / Brian P. Powell / Lars Leonhard)

Explore the clearest-ever view of our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy, where over 100 million stars shine in astonishing detail! (Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: NASA, ESA, J. Dalcanton, B. F. Williams, L. C. Johnson, the PHAT team, R. Gendler)

A spectacular zoom-in on star cluster RCW 38 (Credit: ESO, DSS, N. Risinger/skysurvey org)

A striking face-on observation of NGC 5335, showcasing its flocculent spiral structure marked by fragmented bands of star-forming regions. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, N. Bartmann (ESA/Hubble)

This is the Antlia Cluster, a group of at least 230 galaxies - each of them contains billions of stars! Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: Dark Energy Survey/DOE/FNAL/DECam/CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA - Image processing: R. Colombari &amp; M. Zamani (NSF NOIRLab)

Stunning: At first glance, it looks like a dramatic landscape on another world. In reality, the Cosmic Cliffs are a towering wall of gas and dust inside the Carina Nebula. (Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI)

Stunning: Only a small portion of the Eagle Nebula is viewed here, yet the massive structure of gas and dark dust still impresses - soaring 9.5 light-years high! Credit: ESA/Hubble &amp; NASA, K. Noll, N. Bartmann (ESA/Hubble)

A breathtaking cosmic vista of NGC 3576, a stellar nursery located around 20,000 light-years from Earth. (Credit: ESO/G. Beccari - Video by Universal-Sci)

A spectacular close-up of the vibrant cosmic neighbourhood around the Tarantula Nebula, where brilliant young stars, glowing nebulae, and supernova remnants paint a dramatic scene. (Credit: ESO - Video by Universal-Sci)

A breathtaking close-up of the region surrounding the star cluster Terzan 5! (Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory)

The aptly named Cat’s Paw Nebula (a.k.a. NGC 6334) lies in the constellation Scorpius Though it appears near the Milky Way’s centre in the sky, it’s actually relatively close to Earth - about 5,500 light-years away (Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI)

A striking close-up of the Veil supernova remnant and the night sky around it! (Video by Universal-Sci - Credit: NASA, ESA, Digitized Sky Survey 2 - Acknowledgement: Davide De Martin)

Astonishing: a flight through 5000 Galaxies found by Webb Starting 'nearby' and ending with less-developed galaxies in the distant universe Each second equals travelling 200 million light-years and seeing 200 million years further into the past (Credit: NASA/STScI, et al.)
