The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been capturing stunning images of various celestial objects since its launch. To celebrate its achievements, astronomers are encouraged to observe some of the targets that JWST has captured. These targets include Jupiter, Neptune, the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula, and Stephan's Quintet. With a small backyard telescope or even binoculars, observers in the Northern Hemisphere can enjoy these sights during the fall and winter months.
