Hubble peers at its multi-galaxy anniversary image

Webb's First Year of Science

In its first year of science operations, the James Webb Space Telescope exceeded astronomers’ expectations and wowed the world with stunning imagery.
This horizontal image has layers of semi-opaque rusty red colored gas and dust that starts at the bottom right and goes toward the top left. There are three prominent pillars rising toward the top left. The left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have red outlines.
