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 largest and most advanced space telescope ever built, was launched in December 2021 after three decades of meticulous development.

The Webb telescope has surpassed the Hubble Space Telescope in observational capabilities, uncovering the most distant and ancient galaxies in the universe with its impressive size and advanced infrared technology. Experience a curated selection of 20 breathtaking space photographs captured by the JWST in 2023.
