The deepest, sharpest infrared image of the universe ever.⁣ (via @nasa) ⁣ If you held a grain of sand to the sky at arm’s length, that speck is the size of Webb’s view here. Imagine — galaxies galore within a grain! Why do some galaxies appear bent? The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a “gravitational lens,” bending the light rays from more distant galaxies behind it, magnifying them. ⁣ ⁣ This is the very first image released from the James Webb Space Telescope, the world's most powerful space telescope. Capturing this was all in a day’s work. (Literally! Webb captured this image in less than a day, while similar images from Hubble can take weeks.) ⁣ Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA & STScI
