The deep-field photograph, which covers a tiny area of sky visible from the Southern Hemisphere, is centered on SMACS 0723, a galaxy cluster in the constellation of Volans. Thousands of galaxies are visible in the image, some as old as 13 billion years. [1] It is the highest-resolution image of the early universe ever taken.
A test image captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in May. The dots with six sunbeams stretching outward are stars, while the other sources of light are distant galaxies. (NASA, CSA and ...
SMACS J0723.3–7327, commonly referred to as SMACS 0723, is a galaxy cluster about 4 billion light years from Earth, [2] within the southern constellation of Volans (RA/Dec = 110.8375, −73.4391667).
The HUDF is the deepest image of the universe ever taken and has been used to search for galaxies that existed between 400 and 800 million years after the Big Bang (redshifts between 7 and 12). [1] [obsolete source] Several galaxies in the HUDF are candidates, based on photometric redshifts, to be amongst the most distant astronomical objects.
On July 7, NASA released a jaw-dropping engineering test photo as a little sneak preview. On Tuesday, July 12, NASA is set to release images from the James Webb Space Telescope, that are truly out ...
The first ever close-up picture of a star outside of our galaxy has shown that it is wrapped in a strange structure. The image shows a star named WOH G64 that is surrounded by gas and dust.
It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever taken. [2] In late 2011, the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) was set up, [1] which was tasked with mapping one-third of the stars within the Andromeda Galaxy.
Scientists using an ocean drilling vessel have dug the deepest hole ever in rock from Earth's mantle - penetrating 4,160 feet (1,268 meters) below the Atlantic seabed - and obtained a large sample ...
