James Webb Space Telescope reveals distances of nearly 200 deep-space galaxies

A field of distant galaxies captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has helped astronomers determine the distance to nearly 200 galaxies and galaxy clusters formed in the universe's early days.

One of the first publicly released images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb), released on July 11, 2022, captured at least 7,000 galaxies in a sparkling deep field view. The image is a rich hunting ground for astronomers seeking to learn more about how galaxies change over time.
