After more than four years in space, the world's most powerful telescope has forever changed the way we view the cosmos.
The cutting-edge, $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shared its debut image with the world on July 12, 2022, peering deeper into the universe than any telescope before it. Since then, JWST has captured the mystery and beauty of our solar system planets, distant star factories, towering sculptures of gas and dust, and other discoveries that both confirm and confound our longstanding theories about how the universe works.
Here are 48 of the telescope's finest observations.
