James Webb telescope made the most clear image of the universe

NASA showed the most clear infrared image of the Universe made by the James Webb space telescope. It depicts the accumulation of Smacs 0723 galaxies, as it was 4.6 billion years ago.

The image is made by the camera of the near infrared range (NIRCAM). It took 12.5 hours to create it. If another telescope made it, for example, Hubble, weeks would have gone.

The combined mass of this galactic cluster acts as a gravitational lens, increasing the much more distant galaxies behind it. Thanks to NIRCAM, these galaxies were focused. It turned out that they have tiny weak structures that have never been observed before. Among them are star clusters and diffuse details.

The James Webb telescope was brought into space from the Cosmodrome Kuru in French Guiana on the Arian-5 rocket at the end of last year. It is assumed that he should replace the Hubble, which has been working in orbit for 31 years and is increasingly failing. In the next decade, Webb will be the main engine of the development of world astronomy and astrophysics. It is aimed at the areas that are at a distance of 13.6 billion light years from the ground.
