Surprise Elements Spotted In Peculiarly Hot "Teenage" GalaxiesThe composition shows many galaxies on a black back ground. A few closer object are yellow and elliptical and there are a few red lines. These are extremely gravitationally lensed galaxies that the el gordo cluster is warping and magnifying.

Most Colorful View Of The Universe Reveals Monstrously Magnified StarsA field of galaxies on the black background of space. In the middle, stretching from left to right, is a collection of dozens of yellowish spiral and elliptical galaxies that form a foreground galaxy cluster. Among them are distorted linear features created when the light of a background galaxy is bent and magnified through gravitational lensing

Oldest Black Hole Discovered Dating To Just 470 Million Years After Big Banga thin box outlines the distant galaxy, and two enlargements are inset at our upper left. In the enlargement showing Chandra data, a hazy, neon purple oval with a light pink core is shown. This purple oval represents intense X-rays from a growing supermassive black hole estimated to weigh between 10 and 100 million suns. The purple oval is not visible in the composite image because of the way the Chandra data was processed. The box is located in an image showing many galaxy from JWST surrnounded by a purple halo, the detection of hot gas in the cluster by Chandra.

Brand New Feature On Jupiter Discovered By JWSTIn this image, brightness indicates high altitude. The numerous bright white "spots" and "streaks" are likely very high-altitude cloud tops of condensed convective storms. Auroras, appearing in red in this image, extend to higher altitudes above both the northern and southern poles of the planet. By contrast, dark ribbons north of the equatorial region have little cloud cover.

Hidden Structure Of Iconic Supernova Seen By JWSTJWST captured this detailed image of SN 1987A (Supernova 1987A). At the center, material ejected from the supernova forms a keyhole shape. Just to its left and right are faint crescents newly discovered by Webb. Beyond them an equatorial ring, formed from material ejected tens of thousands of years before the supernova explosion, contains bright hot spots. Exterior to that is diffuse emission and two faint outer rings.

What Are You Actually Looking At In This Glorious JWST Image?At the centre is a thin horizontal multi-coloured cloud tilted from bottom left to top right. At its centre is a dark brown cloud from which both outflows are spewing from. These outflows transition from colours of yellow/orange, to a light blue region, with prominent light pink features in the outer regions.
