From deep views of the Universe to detritus of dead stars.
This is one of Hubble’s favorite subjects, the Carina Nebula, 7,200 light-years away. This particular image was released by the Hubble Heritage Project in 2008 and shows a sliver of a star-forming region in a corner of the nebula.
JWST will not have that advantage — situated nearly a million miles away, it’s too far away for the regular checkups that Hubble got. But it does have about 20 years’ worth of fuel onboard, which means we will get many more images like this:That’s one of JWST’s views of the group of galaxies, which were first observed in 1877
The image above is the biggest image JWST has taken yet, and it’s a mosaic made with over 1,000 individual pictures taken by two instruments: the Near Infrared Camera and the Mid-Infrared Instrument . Both gather infrared wavelengths of light, which help JWST see through gas and dust. But, as the names imply, they both gather slightly different wavelengths of that infrared light.
