NASA’s Chandra, Webb Combine for Arresting Views (M74)
Chandra: NASA/CXC/SAO, XMM: ESA/XMM-Newton; IR: JWST: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI, Spitzer: NASA/JPL/CalTech; Optical: Hubble: NASA/ESA/STScI, ESO; Image Processing: L. Frattare, J. Major, and K. Arcand
The James Webb Space Telescope, the biggest and most technologically sophisticated space telescope ever built, was launched in December 2021 following three decades of painstaking development.
Webb has outperformed the Hubble Space Telescope in terms of observational capabilities, revealing the universe’s most distant and ancient galaxies thanks to its vast size and state-of-the-art infrared capabilities. Come see a carefully chosen collection of 20 amazing photos taken in 2023 by the JWST that provide an amazing look into space.
