Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Views of Galaxies and Stars.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068 in the Virgo constellation, about 20 million light-years from Earth. The telescope's infrared sensors can see through the dust and gas that surrounds stars as they're born, making it particularly suited to producing images that show the process of star formation. The composite image shows both the enormous amount of stars in the region as well as the highlights of the stars that have just been "born." NASA hopes the data being gathered can help to "kick-start" major scientific advances in the field of astronomy.
