James Webb Space Telescope captures thousands of galaxies in a cosmic 'feast' (image)

James Webb Space Telescope ESA NASA the James Webb Space Telescope
Thousands of galaxies in various shapes and sizes are captured in this new image from the James Webb Space Telescope. More distant galaxies appear redder and smaller, compared to galaxies that are closer and appear larger and white or blueish. .

Galaxies speckle the heavens like stars in a stunning new photo of the deep and distant universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team shared a new image of a region of the sky called the COSMOS-Web field (short for Cosmic Evolution Survey). The image combines data collected by JWST's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and the Hubble Space Telescope to create a "visual feast of galaxies," according to a statement from the European Space Agency (ESA). (ESA partners with NASA on the Hubble mission.)
