In its first year of operations, the James Webb Space Telescope has already revolutionized our view of the cosmos. Its one-year anniversary image is a spectacularly beautiful addition.
One year after kicking off operations, the James Webb Space Telescope has already revolutionized our view of the universe. And to celebrate JWST's first birthday, scientists have released one of the telescope's most gorgeous images yet.
In the image, JWST captured about 50 young stars shortly after their birth. Each is similar in size to the sun, and a few have the telltale shadows of protoplanetary disks that will one day condense into rocky planets. JWST is equipped with four main instruments: the Near-Infrared Camera , the Near-Infrared Spectrograph , the Mid-Infrared Instrument , and the Fine Guidance Sensor/Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph .
