Good morning. It's March 5, and today's image is from the James Webb Space Telescope.
It's a new deep-field image from the Infrared Space Telescope, showing part of the GAM Deep Survey region previously observed by other space telescopes, including Hubble and Chandra. Almost everything in this image that does not have lines emanating from it is a galaxy.
These deep-field images are poetic in that they show only a small portion of the sky—this image's width is much less than one degree of the night sky—and yet they reveal a universe teeming with galaxies. We live in a universe that is almost incomprehensibly large.
If you click To Telescope website You'll find an illustration highlighting a galaxy in the far right corner. It's the galaxy GN-z11, seen just 430 million years after the Big Bang.
