NASA released an image Monday image that showed thousands of galaxies that are billions of light-years from Earth.
One day after releasing a single image giving mankind the clearest image of deep space in history, NASA released shots from the Webb Space Telescope.
NASA used the telescope to examine WASP-96 b, an exoplanet 1,150 light-years away. The telescope discovered evidence of water on the exoplanet, but scientists believe the planet is too hot for it to contain liquid water."WASP-96 b orbits extremely close to its Sun-like star, just one-ninth of the distance between Mercury and the Sun, completing one circuit every 3½ Earth-days," NASA said.
NASA then released an image of Stephan’s Quintet by combining 1,000 separate image files. Given the galaxy group's proximity, it gave scientists a close-up look at galaxy formation, NASA said. President Joe Biden helped NASA release the telescope’s first image on Monday. The image showed galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, revealing the faintest objects ever observed. According to NASA, the image showed thousands of galaxies and how they looked 4.6 billion years ago, given the speed of light.
