The latest stunning image to come out of the telescope is the most in-depth image of the Pillars of Creation.
The so-called Pillars of Creation was captured this week by a space telescope.
The "Pillars of Creation" is a dense, towering star-forming area consisting of dust, gas and stars.
The first images of the clouds were taken by the Hubble telescope in 1995 and again in 2014; but the new telescope is six times more powerful than the Hubble.
The James Webb telescope uses near-infrared technology to detect light, as opposed to the Hubble, which captures images with ultraviolet wavelength.
In July, NASA received its first images from the James Webb telescope, which showed a cloud of mountain-like gasses called the Carina Nebula.
The Southern Ring Nebula, which NASA describes as a death shroud of a dying sun-like star, is one of the new images it has revealed.
Thousands of young stars are forming in the Tarantula Nebula.
The Hubble and the Southern Ring Nebula are seen through the same telescope.
There is a mountain-like cloud of dust and stars in this picture.
Stephan's Quintet is a distant galaxy.
It is roughly 500 million light-years away.
In December of last year, NASA launched its $10 billion telescope from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, to a point between the Earth and the sun's gravity, which is known as Lagrange Point 2. The project was decades in the making, with initial development beginning in 1996, but was bogged down with delays and rising costs that required additional congressional spending.
