This first image from NASAβs James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webbβs First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies β including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared β have appeared in Webbβs view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at armβs length by someone on the ground.
