The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has released a new deep field image revealing over 2,500 distant galaxies, many of which date back to the first billion years of cosmic history. This observation revisits the iconic Hubble Ultra Deep Field, providing a deeper and richer infrared view of the universe. JWST's instruments, including the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), have uncovered previously hidden galaxies and offered fresh insights into the formation of early cosmic structures. Among the notable celestial objects captured are spiral galaxies such as NGC 1309 located approximately 100 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus, the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), and the merging galaxy pair Arp 107 about 465 million light-years distant in Leo Minor. Hubble Space Telescope continues to contribute high-resolution images of various galaxies and nebulae, including the massive spiral galaxy NGC 1309, the star-forming Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Butterfly Nebula. Additionally, JWST has provided detailed images of planets such as Saturn and Jupiter, and captured the glowing center of the Milky Way. Other highlights include observations of star clusters like NGC 346, globular clusters such as NGC 6652 in Sagittarius, and rare phenomena like an intermediate-mass black hole (HLX-1) disrupting a star 450 million light-years away. These combined observations from JWST and Hubble are advancing the understanding of galaxy evolution, star formation, and the dynamics of cosmic collisions across vast distances and timescales.
Hubble just released a new photograph showing this remarkably strange-looking lenticular galaxy; NGC 4753 https://t.co/hGfivW8sWK
Guess the number of galaxies in the photo The Abell 3667 cluster is located 700 million light years from Earth. It was captured by the 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera after 28 hours of observations in the direction of the Pavo constellation. The cluster is formed by two galaxy https://t.co/93XXC8kEyC
📷 Mars’s climate is fascinating. Unlike Earth, Mars’s tilt varies wildly, driving alternate warm-cool spells that let ice creep around the planet. Telltale signs of this freeze-thaw cycle cover Mars, and are spotted here in this image taken by ESA's #MarsExpress. https://t.co/FsAFTugwpo
