NIRCam wrapped up in 2013 NIRCam being installed in 2014. NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) is an instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope.It has two major tasks, as an imager from 0.6 to 5 μm wavelength, and as a wavefront sensor to keep the 18-section mirrors functioning as one.
Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth. Called the Cosmic Cliffs, the region is actually the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, roughly 7,600 light-years away.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope operated by NASA and designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy.Launched in December 2021, the spacecraft has been in a halo orbit around the second Sun–Earth Lagrange point (L 2), about 1.5 million kilometers (900,000 mi) from Earth, since January 2022.
Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has imaged some of these light echoes in much greater detail. Insets at lower right show one epoch of Webb observations, while the inset at left shows a ...
JADES-GS-z14-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-Break galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered in 2024 using NIRcam as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. [1] [2] It has a redshift of 14.32, making it the most distant galaxy and astronomical object ever discovered.
English: Evolution of clouds on Titan over 30 hours between November 4 and November 6, 2022, as seen by Webb NIRCam (left) and Keck NIRC-2 (right). Titan’s trailing hemisphere seen here is rotating from left (dawn) to right (evening) as seen from Earth and the Sun. Cloud A appears to be rotating into view while Cloud B appears to be either dissipating or moving behind Titan’s limb (around ...
This image released by NASA on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, combined the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope’s two cameras to create a never-before-seen view of a star-forming region in ...
