Since December 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unlocked various secrets of our universe. From providing newer images of galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope to enlightening experts on supernova remnants and peering into the early universe, the spacecraft has already discovered so much.
Below are the latest and greatest images that NASA has released from the JWST.

The JWST has taken a close-up of the Horsehead Nebula, or Barnard 33, in gorgeous detail. The Horsehead Nebula, found in the constellation Orion, is about 1,300 light years from Earth. In the zoomed-in image, JWST captured the nebula’s wispy filaments of gas, lit up by radiation from nearby stars. A study on the observations was published this month in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
