The latest image was taken during the commissioning of the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph . At the same time, the Near-Infrared Camera focused on LEDA 2046648, the billion-year-old spiral galaxy seen here. The image showcases hundreds of visible light sources, but the infrared data that Webb relies on captures many more galaxies, including this billion-year-old spiral galaxy. Thanks to Webb’s deep-field imagery, scientists can observe ancient light and utilize gravitational lensing to view distant sources we wouldn’t usually be able to observe from Earth.
