The James Webb Space Telescope of NASA has finally released its first full-color pictures. People who love astronomy from all over the world are enjoying the long-anticipated collection of images that provide a vision of the planet that has never been seen before. The photographs display cosmic occurrences in breathtaking detail and color with unmatched precision.
James Webb Space Telescope broadcast image on NASA TV
The James Webb Space Telescope live coverage image was broadcast on NASA TV, the agency’s website, and the NASA app. The image shows an extraordinary view of the Carina Nebula, the brightest and largest nebulae located around 7,600 years from the southern Carina constellation. The constellation is home to several big stars even bigger than the sun.
NASA stated that Webb’s allegedly three-dimensional image, known as the Cosmic Cliffs, depicts what appear to be rocky slopes on a moonlit night. The largest “peaks” in the image are the boundary of the enormous, nebulous crater within NGC 3324, and they are approximately seven light-years tall, according to NASA. Strong UV rays and galactic winds from exceptionally large, hot, new stars positioned in the core of the sphere above the region depicted in the image have cut the cavernous region from the nebula.
Another image from the telescope offers an amazing view of the “Eight Burst” or Southern Ring nebula, a planetary nebula comprising an expanding gas cloud around a dying star. It is almost a half light-year in diameter and almost 2000 light years from the Earth.
“Cosmic Dance” located 290 million light-years from Pegasus
Also, there is a view of the “cosmic Dance” witnessed in Stephan’s Quintet, located around 290 million light-years from the Pegasus constellation. This is notable because it was the first of the compact galaxy groups to be discovered back in 1877. Interestingly, four out of the five galaxies around the quintet appear to be in the cosmic dance of replicated close encounters.
Another image shows WASP-96b, a massive planet not part of the solar system that mainly comprises gases.
