The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been capturing breathtaking images of the universe since its launch in 2021, and in 2024, it brought home 10 phenomenal pictures that showcase the telescope’s capabilities.
Among these images is a stunning view of an oval-shaped spiral galaxy, with its core glowing brightly in blue light. The JWST also captured a composite image of the Pillars of Creation, a region of star formation in a nearby nebula. Additionally, the telescope showed us two interacting galaxies, one resembling a teal oval and the other looking like a penguin.
The images were taken using instruments developed by a University of Arizona team, which helped NASA’s JWST capture these incredible views. The pictures are available to view on NASA’s Flickr page.
These stunning images demonstrate the JWST’s power as an astronomical observatory, offering new insights into the universe and its many mysteries.
