A galactic panoramic 📸 A new multi-wavelength image combines eight colors of near-infrared light captured by Webb with three colors of ultraviolet and visible light from @NASAHubble. It shows — in unprecedented detail and exquisite depth — a universe full of galaxies, many of which were previously unseen by Hubble or large ground-based telescopes. While this shot is just a tiny portion of what will be the complete wide field covered by this Webb program, it’s already unveiling wonders. The faintest objects in the image are about 1 billion times fainter than what can be seen with our eyes. Learn more at the link in our bio. Image Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, A. Pagan (STScI) & R. Jansen (ASU). Science: R. Jansen, J. Summers, R. O'Brien, and R. Windhorst (Arizona State University); A. Robotham (ICRAR/UWA); A. Koekemoer (STScI); C. Willmer (UofA); and the PEARLS team Image Descriptions: This series of images make up one wide, interconnected image as one scrolls to the right. The full series depicts a field of hundreds of galaxies of various shapes, colors and sizes. Most are small while a handful are somewhat larger. A few stars are also scattered across the image. Some have Webb’s characteristic 8-point diffraction spikes, while others have additional spikes due to a combination of image exposures. #JWST #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #Galaxies #Stars #Space #Universe #Telescope #NASA
