The galaxy filling the frame in this NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month is NGC 2566, a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Puppis. The image combines observations from two of Webb's instruments,

NASA says it was able to use the James Webb telescope to capture images of planet-forming disks around ancient stars that challenge theoretical models of how planets can form. The images support earlier findings from the Hubble telescope that haven’t been able to be confirmed until now.

However, NASA James Webb Space Telescope is one such powerful observatory which has been a part of several unique discoveries. Check out these 5 images of space. Webb’s NIRCam instrument captured the inner Orion Nebula and Trapezium Cluster which is spread across 4 light years.

Mowla, who spotted the galaxy in Webb’s image, was drawn to its gleaming star clusters, because objects that sparkle typically indicate they are extremely clumpy and complicated. Since the galaxy looks like a ‘sparkle’ or swarm of fireflies on a warm summer night, they named it the Firefly Sparkle galaxy.

This galaxy image was captured with the help of NASA’s MIRI instrument showcasing part of star formation in the outer galaxy. This image showcases a pair of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, showcasing massive star formation due to the interaction.

Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to study planet formation. They observed the star cluster NGC 346. They found long-lasting planet-forming disks. These disks exist even with few heavy elements.

Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope has resolved a long-standing astronomical mystery by confirming findings from the Hubble Space Telescope regarding planet formation around ancient stars. This breakthrough sheds light on the conditions under which planets may have formed in the early universe.
