Featured in the IMAX® documentary Deep Sky, this mosaic image stretches 340 light-years across. JWST’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens …
NGC 1559, as seen by Webb’s MIRI and NIRCam instruments. This composite image was created using six wavelength filters, ranging from 1.5 to 21 μm. As scientists continue to use …
“The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the best evidence yet for emission from a neutron star at the site of a well-known and recently-observed supernova known as SN 1987A. …
This is a composite of Stephan’s Quintet comprised of nearly 1,000 separate images. It was one of the first James Webb Space Telescope images released to the public. | Credit: …
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 19 nearby spiral galaxies as part of its long-term Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program. PHANS is supported …
At the longer wavelengths of light captured by Webb’s MIRI, it’s possible to see behind the curtain of clouds and dust. Shorter wavelengths of light are absorbed or scattered, obscuring …
NASA and the United States Postal Service (USPS) have teamed up on two new Priority Mail stamps that celebrate the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST/Webb). The stamps were issued this …
