James Webb provided us with incredible images of the cosmos this year.
The James Webb Space Telescope blasted off into space on December 25, 2021. Since then readers have been treated to a series of stunning images of the cosmos.
The amazing telescope will spend the next decade gravitationally balanced between the Sun and Earth exploring the universe in infrared.Southern Ring NebulaThe Southern Ring Nebula, also known as the “Eight-Burst” nebula, is what is known as a planetary nebula: an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star. It is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is located about 2,000 light-years from Earth.
The Cartwheel Galaxy was formed as the result of a high-speed collision that occurred about 400 million years ago. It is made up of two rings: a bright inner ring and a colorful outer ring, both of which expand outward from the center of the shockwave in what the Webb team describes looks like a shockwave.The JWST captured the clearest view of Neptune’s planet rings in more than 30 years. Some of the rings had not been detected since NASA’s Voyager 2 flew by in 1989.
Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera brought distant galaxies into sharp focus. Tiny, faint structures that have never-been-seen-before, including star clusters and diffuse features. The image has enabled researchers to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.The Carina Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebulae that is visible in the night sky. It is located about 7,600 light-years away from Earth.
