James Webb Telescope: 1st photos dazzle with cosmic cliffs, dancing galaxies | FULL

NASA and its partners released four additional full-colour images from the James Webb Space Telescope on Tuesday, offering the clearest, sharpest photos ever taken of the universe around us.

The images released Tuesday include a view of a giant gaseous planet outside our solar system, two images of a nebula where stars are born and die in spectacular beauty, and an update of a classic image of five tightly clustered galaxies that dance around each other.

The final image presented Tuesday — and perhaps the most stunning of all — shows the Carina Nebula in all its glory. The sparkly picture shows the birth of a star, with what look like mountains and valleys of the Cosmic Cliffs on full display. Captured in infrared light, NASA says the picture shows off never-before-seen glimpses of previously invisible areas of star birth.

As the Hubble's $10-billion successor, the Webb telescope has been hailed as the world's premier space observatory. Now fully operational, it is able to peer back in time, possibly to 100 million years after the Big Bang.
