majestic structures in space
The iconic Pillars of Creation are widespread formations of sculpted gas and dust located some 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula that have been observed in the Milky Way since it was observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995. It has become a well-known feature. Photo credit: Nasa)
Describe the dynamic story of the Carina Nebula
Among the telescope’s first images is a cosmic portrait of the Carina Nebula, about 7,600 light-years from Earth. Illuminated and sculpted by radiation from newborn stars, this region stands as one of the most dynamic star-forming regions ever identified. (Photo courtesy of NASA)

First telescope image
The telescope’s first image is the deepest, most detailed image of the universe, capturing a bright galaxy cluster that stretches out stars more than 13 billion light-years away, surrounded by thousands of young, moving stars. The galaxy is surrounded. (Photo courtesy of NASA)

Fascinating “phantom galaxy” dance
A mysterious “phantom galaxy” resembling a cosmic nautilus shell orbits gracefully in space about 32 million light-years from Earth. This spiral arm, called the “Grand Design Spiral” by scientists, is particularly distinctive and well-defined. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
The drama that unfolds in Stephen’s Quintet
Located in five galaxies 290 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, the Stefan Quintet shows the effects of cosmic overcrowding. Four galaxies perform a dangerous dance that warps the stars between them. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
Interesting shape of a cartwheel galaxy
Located 500 light-years from Earth, the cartwheel galaxy has a unique wagon wheel shape, the result of an ancient collision with a smaller galaxy. (Photo courtesy of NASA)

Dazzling rivals of Saturn’s rings
In the James Webb Space Telescope’s gauze image, Neptune, the solar system’s eighth planet, challenges Saturn, the undisputed prime example of a planetary ring with its five crystalline ice rings. I am. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
Saturn’s amazing brightness revealed
The June 2023 image of Saturn captures the brightness of its rings in their raw state. In this eerie black-and-white snapshot, only the rings glow, hoping that post-processing will reveal Saturn in his yellow and gold-striped costume. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
Surprising details of Uranus revealed in cosmic revelations through telescopes
Like Jupiter, not much is known about Uranus’ rings. Nevertheless, JWST’s close-up of Planet 7 reveals 11 of its 13 known rings in amazing detail, revealing fundamental information about a planet that is too far from Earth to be seen with the naked eye. provides a new perspective.

Deciphering the beauty of Einstein’s rings
This celestial bullseye, known as the Einstein Ring, is an optical illusion caused by the distortion of space-time, predicted by Albert Einstein. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
Dusty Veil of the Pillars of Creation
The James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has deciphered the ghostly shroud around the Pillars of Creation, creating a gloomy portrait with no bright stars hidden in the dust cloud. (Photo courtesy of NASA)

Origin of starbursts and black holes in IC 1623
Colliding galaxies IC 1623 merge in a dramatic encounter, causing a surge of star formation. This cataclysmic event could generate a new supermassive black hole at the shared center of these giant galaxies. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
The unusual glow of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot

A complex network of gas and dust
Fascinating images captured by MIRI showed NGC 7496’s spiral arms covered with spongy foam and shells. These filaments and hollow cavities provide evidence that young stars are releasing energy and, in some cases, gas and dust from the surrounding interstellar medium. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
