Spitzer and other space projects

Webb cost American taxpayers $10 billion and was designed to extend the discoveries of the agency’s popular Hubble Space Telescope, which launched in 1990 and also still operates. (Webb has longer wavelength coverage and improved sensitivity, making its potential to uncover the uncharted regions of space even greater.)

Already, Webb has captured the first planet outside of the solar system, depicted never before seen characteristics of Jupiter and made other fascinating discoveries.


Here is a look at what Webb, Hubble, have uncovered to date about the cosmos.

This star-forming section in the Carina Nebula referred to as NGC 3324 was captured by Webb.

The image is notable because it offers a first-time glimpse of star births in areas of the Carina Nebula.

This image features the heart of the swirly Messier 74, which telegram database is also known as the Phantom Galaxy and located in the Pisces constellation.

The image was released by the European Space Agency and is a combination of data from both Webb and Hubble.

“By combining data from telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum, scientists can gain greater insight into astronomical objects than by using a single observatory even one as powerful as Webb,” the space agency said.

In summer of 2022, the Webb project released images of Jupiter that showed off the planet’s unique characteristics.

The planet’s northern and southern lights, swirling polar haze and Great Red Spot stand out in the photos.

“We’ve never seen Jupiter like this. It’s all quite incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater with the University of California—Berkeley in a statement.
