James Webb Space Telescope documentary returns to IMAX theaters this week for Earth Day. Watch exclusive clips here (video)

A deep space image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.

First launched for a limited run back in October of last year, "Deep Sky" is a dazzling IMAX Original documentary showcasing the mesmerizing imagery taken by the astronomical platform's intricate array of near-infrared and mid-infrared cameras during the James Webb Space Telescope's first full year of operation. 

That initial 2023 release was timed to honor the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope's one-year anniversary in July and highlights many of the miracle machine's remote galactic subjects. The Webb Telescope is the planet's largest off-Earth observatory, carried aloft inside an ESA Ariane 5 rocket on Christmas Day of 2021 from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. It arrived at its Lagrange 2 parking spot 1 million miles (1.6 million km) from Earth in January 2022 and began science operations six months later.
