The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope have recently provided unprecedented images and data revealing thousands of distant galaxies and detailed cosmic structures. JWST's deep field observations, including a revisit of the iconic Hubble Ultra Deep Field, have uncovered over 2,500 galaxies, many seen as they were during the first billion years of cosmic history, offering new insights into early cosmic evolution. These observations include spectacular views of merging galaxies such as Arp 105 and Arp 107, spiral galaxies like NGC 1309 and NGC 4603, and star-forming regions like the Tarantula Nebula and Eagle Nebula. JWST also captured detailed images of planets such as Saturn and Jupiter, as well as the glowing center of the Milky Way. Hubble's contributions include high-resolution images of various galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, including the Butterfly Nebula, the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104), and the globular cluster NGC 6652. Additionally, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has released its first images from the 3,200-megapixel LSST camera, capturing millions of stars and galaxies and discovering over 2,000 new objects. These combined efforts from multiple observatories are revolutionizing modern astronomy by revealing the universe's structure, galaxy interactions, star formation processes, and cosmic evolution in greater detail than ever before.
This image from the Spitzer Space Telescope is the Helix Nebula.. The Helix Nebula shows the welcome light from NGC 7293, or the God's Eye Nebula.The distance of the planetary nebula from Earth is 680 light years. It was discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding. NASA/Spitzer https://t.co/mFpKWxh9v7
