James Webb Telescope Images

Launched in Dec 2021, the most powerful telescope ever made has reached its permanent home orbiting the sun, about 1 million miles from Earth.

Pillars of Creation: Spanning 4 - 5 lightyears (≈ 25 trillion miles), these immense clouds of gas and dust are forming new stars.

Uranus: This image, released just a few weeks ago, shows 11 of the planet's 13 known rings.

Cosmic Cliffs: What looks like jagged mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming.

Webb's First Deep Field: Thousands of galaxies flood this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723.

Southern Ring Nebula: This scene was created by a white dwarf star – the remains of a star like our Sun after it stopped burning fuel through nuclear fusion.
