From photos of our solar system to the edges of the known universe, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured it all in its first year.
It's been one year since the James Webb Space Telescope beamed its first images of deep space back to Earth, and NASA marked the anniversary by releasing an"unprecedented" new imageinto the depths of the universe; 390 light-years away, to be exact.
NASA said the stars in this region are younger than the Sun, but have a similar amount of mass. The towering jets of red light are"huge bipolar jets of molecular hydrogen" shooting into opposite ends of space, which NASA compared to a"newborn first stretching her arms out into the world." More recently, Webb captured an infrared image of Saturn and its rings to look for previously undiscovered moons circling the planet.
It can also find exoplanets, which are planets that orbit distant stars outside the solar system. Menzel says the photos are proof that galaxies are evolving more quickly than scientists thought and could be key to solving life's biggest mysteries.
