James Webb Space Telescope captures cosmic cliffs, dancing galaxies

James Webb Space Telescope captures cosmic cliffs, dancing galaxies

CBC
Wednesday, July 13, 2022 10:45 AM GMT

NASA on Tuesday unveiled a new batch of images from its new powerful space telescope and photo illustrations, including a foamy blue and orange shot of a dying star.

The first image from the $10 billion US James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was released Monday at the White House — a jumble of distant galaxies that went deeper into the cosmos than humanity has ever seen.

The additional photos released Tuesday included more cosmic beauty shots.

The Southern Ring Nebula, which is sometimes called "eight-burst." It is about 2,500 light-years away and the image shows an expanding cloud of gas surrounding a dying star.

Carina Nebula, one of the bright stellar nurseries in the sky, is seen in the above photo. It is about 7,600 light-years away.

In the above image of Stephan's Quintet, five galaxies are in a cosmic dance, 290 million light-years away. Stephan's Quintet was first seen 225 years ago in the constellation Pegasus. 

The telescope was able to captured this light curve of the brightness of WASP-96 b parent star over time. Though aspects of WASP-96 b were known, Webb data adds more detail to existing measurements, NASA said. 

The latest images showed parts of the universe seen by other telescopes. But Webb's sheer power, distant location off Earth and use of the infrared light spectrum showed them in new light.

"Every image is a new discovery and each will give humanity a view of the humanity that we've never seen before," NASA administrator Bill Nelson said Tuesday, rhapsodizing over images showing "the formation of stars, devouring black holes."

Webb's use of the infrared light spectrum allows the telescope to see through the cosmic dust and "see light from faraway light from the corners of the universe," he said.

"We've really changed the understanding of our universe," said European Space Agency director general Josef Aschbacher.

The European and Canadian space agencies joined NASA in building the powerful telescope.

The images were released one-by-one at an event at NASA's Goddard Space Center that included cheerleaders with pompoms the colour of the telescope's golden mirrors.

The world's biggest and most powerful space telescope rocketed away last December from French Guiana in South America. It reached its lookout point 1.6 million kilometres from Earth in January.
