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 Universesuch as the great constellations of gas and dust, known as the Pillars of Creation, which are so large that it must be light years before they cross the entire landscape.
cosmic slopes
The next scene is called Cosmic Slope, which is the edge of a gas giant cavity inside another star-filled nebula, known as Carina. The cavity was sculpted by intense ultraviolet radiation and winds from hot young stars.
From one side of this image to the other is a distance of about 15 light years. One light year equals approximately 9.46 trillion km.
The Wagonwheel Galaxy
Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered the Cartwheel galaxy in the 1940s.
The Cartwheel galaxy is located about 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Sculptor and took shape during a spectacular collision between two galaxies.
Neptune
James Webb doesn’t just look into the deep universe, he also explores bodies in our solar system.
This image is of the eighth planet in our solar system, Neptune, and its rings, and the small white dots surrounding it are moons, as is the large “pointed star” above.
Orion constellation
One of the best-known regions of the sky is the constellation Orion, a star-forming region, or nebula, about 1,350 light-years from Earth.

Dymorphic collision
This world witnessed a deliberate collision made by “NASA” through a spacecraft with an asteroid called Dimorphos, to see if it was possible to change the course of the 160m wide rock.
This was a test of Earth’s defense strategy against the asteroid threat. James Webb collected a shower of 1,000 tons of flying debris on impact.
Gas wind
The telescope has taken an image of 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 compressing the winds to form dust.
The dusty shells stretch over 10 trillion kilometers. This is 70,000 times the distance between the Earth and our sun.
the ghost galaxy
Nicknamed the Phantom Galaxy, M74 is known for its majestic spiral arms. It is located about 32 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces and is almost in front of us, giving Webb a perfect view of these arms and their structure.
