The image was taken last spring, when the NIRISS instrument, one of the observatory’s four main instruments, was commissioned.
The European Space Agency has released a stunning image taken by the Webb Telescope. Here you can see thousands of galaxies of different shapes and sizes. Gizmodo writes about it.
It is noted that in the foreground is a spiral galaxy. It is located at a distance of more than 1 billion light years from Earth.
Some galaxies have a distinctive spiral shape, others look like faint spots, and still others are bright dots.
“In the background of all these numerous galaxies, the spiral galaxy LEDA 2046648 stands in the foreground, located in the constellation Hercules at a distance of more than 1 billion light years from Earth. Another spiral galaxy also stands out in this image. , which is below the image under LEDA 2046648. It has about 25% the size of the object above. Most importantly, both galaxies clearly show their core, as well as regions of the formation of new stars that light up their spiral arms.
