A journey through space 🚀 This image, captured by the #NIRCam on Webb, features the galaxy cluster MACS J0553.4-3342. It is so vast that its gravity causes light to curve, revealing distant galaxies – including galaxies from less than a billion years after the Big Bang! 1/2

This is Messier 82 (M82), better known as the Cigar Galaxy. M82 has been observed many times before, including by HUBBLE but its details have until now been shrouded by dust. After 65 hours of observations with the #NIRCam on Webb, which can pierce through this dust, M82 has been revealed in all its sparkling glory. There are approximately 16.5 million stars visible in this image! 🤯 Read more: #WebbSeesFarther 📷 NASA , European Space Agency , Canadian Space Agency , A. Smercina (STScI), T.

Located in the bulge of our Milky Way galaxy, Terzan 5 resembles a globular cluster 🪩 a dense ball of ancient stars. However, observations from HUBBLE and Webb have revealed that it contains four distinct populations of stars. This makes it the prototype of a new class of object: a ‘bulge fossil fragment’. These are remnants from our galaxy’s early formation. 2/3

Zoom into the Orion Molecular Clouds with Webb! This is a small detail of OMC-2 🤏 stretching just 150 light-years across. It belongs to the Orion Molecular Clouds, which are found beyond the Orion Nebula – known as part of the ‘sword’ in the constellation Orion ⚔️ 1/3

This is the star cluster Westerlund 2, which contains some of the Milky Way’s hottest, brightest, and most massive stars 🤩 These two views of the cluster come from the #NIRCam and #MIRI on board Webb and the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 on Hubble. #WebbSeesFarther 📷 European Space Agency / ESA Webb Telescope , NASA & Canadian Space Agency , V.

The Red Spider Nebula, caught by two telescopes! 🔴🕷️ The central star of this planetary nebula glows red, surrounded by a shroud of hot dust, in the new image from the #NIRCam instrument on Webb. In optical-wavelength images, however, like those from HUBBLE, the central star appears faint and blue. 📷 European Space Agency / ESA Webb Telescope , NASA & Canadian Space Agency , J. H.
