ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

ALT A graphic of different science areas covered by James Webb Space Telescope, created by the Space Telescope Science Institute. This collage is made up of hexagonal images of galaxies, stars, spectra and more. Each of these hexagonal images is outlined by yellow borders to represent the Webb telescope's hexagonal gold-coated mirrors. The center hexagon of the graphic features an illustration of the Webb telescope.
