Detailed explanation-1: -Webb also captured seven of Neptune’s 14 known moons. Dominating this Webb portrait of Neptune is a very bright point of light sporting the signature diffraction spikes seen in many of Webb’s images, but this is not a star. Rather, this is Neptune’s large and unusual moon, Triton.

Detailed explanation-2: -The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image that contains galaxies so distant that they haven’t yet been imaged by Hubble or any other telescope. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured what the space agency says is one of the first medium-deep wide-field images of the universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first new exoplanet, an Earth-sized rocky planet called LHS 475 b. Located just 41 light-years away, the planet orbits very close to a small, dim star, completing a full orbit in just two days.

Detailed explanation-4: -First direct image of a distant exoplanet The image of exoplanet HIP 65426 b, a gas giant about six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter, is the first time the Webb telescope has taken a direct image of a planet beyond the solar system.

Detailed explanation-5: -James Webb Space Telescope images of Jupiter Astronomers operating the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been sharing dramatic close-up images of Jupiter. The images show the massive planet in false color to better reveal the turbulent cloud tops and swirling storms.
