Merry Christmas ! Here are the most beautiful photos of space by James Webb

James Webb left Earth on December 25, 2021. A year later, the space telescope shared many snaps. Here are the most beautiful photos taken by the observatory so far.

December 25, 2021. An Ariane 5 rocket took off with on board the télescope spatial James Webb. Here we are a year later and the observatory, located nearly 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, has not ceased to dazzle us since it came into operation in the summer of 2022. The beginnings of James Webb are unquestionably space event of the year.

No doubt you have in mind the very first photo shared by James Webb, showing one end of the deep field, an expression that designates one of the most remote areas of the observable Universe. Or do you remember of the four other remarkable shots published shortly thereafter. Sumptuous enough to make wallpapers.

But since then there have been many more. So here, to mark the occasion for this very first anniversary of the departure of James Webb, and because it’s Christmas, a gallery of the most sumptuous photos shared by the space observatory.
