  1. Space tapestry: Stunning images from beyond

  2. View of M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy, in this image released August 29, 2022. Webb’s sharp vision reveals delicate filaments of gas and dust in the spiral arms which wind outwards from the center of this image.

  3. The spiral galaxy NGC 4845, located over 65 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin).

  4. A combined optical/mid-infrared image shows M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy, in this image released August 29, 2022. NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope

  5. A composite image of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, created with NIRCam and MIRI instrument data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and released on July 12, 2022. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team

  12. A group of five galaxies that appear close to each other in the sky: two in the middle, one toward the top, one to the upper left, and one toward the bottom are seen in a mosaic or composite of near and mid-infrared data from NASA's James Webb Space

  13. This composite image of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant, was assembled by combining data from five telescopes spanning nearly the entire breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum: the Karl G.

  16. A composite image released by NASA on January 5, 2017 contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), radio emission from the GMRT (red), and optical data from Subaru (red, green, and blue) of the colliding galaxy clusters called Abell 3411 and Abell 3412.

  17. A Hubble Space Telescope image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 1032, a disc of gas, dust and stars that resembles a glowing wizard's staff when seen edge-on, in the constellation Cetus (The Sea Monster) located a hundred million light years from

  18. A small section of the expanding remains of the Veil Nebula, a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago, is seen in an image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

  19. An orb of gas surrounds a jellyfish-like aging star named NGC 2022, its shell of gases glowing from the star's emitted ultraviolet light, in the constellation of Orion. R. Wade/ESA/Hubble/NASA

  20. A globular cluster of stars known as NGC 1898 is seen in this image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope using the Advanced Camera for Surveys to show near-infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths, and the Wide Field Camera 3 to show near-infrared to

  21. The Cat's Paw Nebula, a star-forming region in the Milky Way galaxy so named because it resembles a feline footprint, is seen in this image compiled from data from the Infrared Array Camera and the Multiband Imaging Photometer aboard the infrared

  24. Flaring, active regions of the sun are highlighted in this satellite image combining observations from several telescopes.

  25. This image shows the twisted cosmic knot NGC 2623 — or Arp 243. NGC 2623's unusual shape is the result of a collision and merger between two galaxies.

  26. A composite view of the Crab nebula, an iconic supernova remnant in our Milky Way galaxy. The Crab is arguably the single most interesting object, as well as one of the most studied, in all of astronomy.
