The telescope works in infrared, seeing the sky in wavelengths of light beyond what our eyes can distinguish.
Astronomers use its various cameras to explore regions of the Earth Universelike the great constellations of gas and dust, known as the Pillars of Creation, which are so large that light years need to pass before traversing this entire landscape.
cosmic slopes
The next scene is called the Cosmic Slope, which is the edge of a gas giant cavity inside another star-filled nebula, known as Carina. The cavity has been sculpted by intense ultraviolet radiation and winds from hot young stars.
From one side of this image to the other is a distance of regarding 15 light-years. One light year equals regarding 9.46 trillion km.
The cartwheel galaxy
Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered the Cartwheel galaxy in the 1940s.
The Cartwheel galaxy lies regarding 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Sculptor, and gained its shape during a spectacular collision between two galaxies.
Neptune
James Webb doesn’t just look into the deep universe, he explores bodies in our solar system as well.
This picture is of the eighth planet from our solar system, Neptune, and its rings, and the small white dots that surround it are moons, as well as the large “pointed star” above.
Orion constellation
One of the most well-known regions of the sky is the constellation Orion, a star-forming region, or nebula, regarding 1,350 light-years from Earth.

Dimorphose collision
This world witnessed a deliberate collision carried out by “NASA” through a spacecraft with an asteroid called Dimorphos, to see if it was possible to change the course of the 160-meter-wide rock.
This was a test of the Earth’s defense strategy once morest the asteroid threat. James Webb picked up a shower of 1,000 tons of flying debris on impact.
Gaseous wind
The telescope imaged a large star nearing the end of its life. Huge winds of gas are blowing through space, and a companion star, not visible in this image, is squeezing the winds to form dust.
Dusty shells extend more than 10 trillion kilometers. This is 70,000 times the distance between Earth and our sun.
the ghost galaxy
Nicknamed the ghost galaxy, M74 is known for its stately spiral arms. It lies regarding 32 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pisces, and stands almost facing us, giving Webb a perfect view of these arms and their structure.
