Webb operates in a halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun–Earth L 2 Lagrange point, approximately 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) beyond Earth's orbit around the Sun. Its actual position varies between about 250,000 and 832,000 km (155,000–517,000 mi) from L 2 as it orbits, keeping it out of both Earth and Moon's shadow.
Before Webb, images like these only came from the Hubble Space Telescope, which rocketed into Earth's orbit in 1990. But the JWST pictures reveal the rewards of the 25 years and $10 billion NASA ...

The most recent visualization of the Pillars of Creation was released by NASA in June 2024. [24] It is a 3D rendering created by images from both the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA described it as "the most comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength movie yet of this star-birthing region." [25]
WASP-96b's spectrum was one of the images featured in the initial science release from the James Webb Space Telescope in July 2022. [4] The spectrum confirmed the presence of water, as well as providing evidence for "clouds and hazes" within the planet's atmosphere. [3] Prior to this discovery, WASP-96b was thought to be free of clouds. [5] [6]
