NASA and its partner space agencies revealed a stunning series of images, from the Carina Nebula in our own Milky Way to a cluster of galaxies much farther away. Stephan has created a quintet of five galaxies, four of which interact and stretch each other with their gravity.
There is a dying star expelling gas and dust in the picture.
The faintest objects ever observed in IR are included in the image of the galaxy cluster SMACS-0723. 13.1 billion years ago, the light from the faintest and most distant galaxies was visible.
The first image of the Southern Ring was taken in the mid-IR.
The work was done on the James Webb Space Telescope.
Thousands of galaxies are included in the telescope's image of the galaxy cluster. The light in the picture is over 4.5 billion years old.
