Scientists at the James Webb space observatory have presented new images taken by the telescope. The press briefing was broadcast on Youtube.

Among the new images is a section of NGC 3324 of the Carina Nebula, located in the constellation Carina at 7.6 thousand. light years from the sun. It is one of the largest star forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy..

Also presented was a picture of the Nebula NGC 3132 " It is a bright and well-studied planetary nebula in the constellation Parus.. Its distance from the Earth is estimated at about 2.5 thousand. light years. A white dwarf is at the center of the nebula.

Another shot - a group of four galaxies Stefan's Quintet. It is located in the constellation Pegasus, 290 million light years from the Sun.. There is also a fifth galaxy NGC 7320, the brightest, but it is still closer to the Milky Way, although visually it seems that it is part of this compact group. This group is the most studied of all compact groups of galaxies, it was discovered in 1877 at the Marseille Observatory.. The James Webb telescope was able to show details that were previously unavailable.

In addition to images of nebulae and galaxies, the transmission spectrum of the atmosphere of the gas planet WASP-96b has been published. It was opened in 2014. It is located in the constellation Phoenix at a distance of almost 1150 light years from Earth.. The mass of the exoplanet is about half the mass of Jupiter, and its radius exceeds the radius of Jupiter by 20%. WASP-96 b completes an orbit around its sun-like star in just 3.4 days.
