Every thing in this image that doesn't have spikes coming off of it is a Galaxy. The very first image from the $10 billion at its full capabilities from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the most distant image ever. Humanity witnessed a 13 billion years old cosmic view. The Big Bang, the flashpoint that set the expansion of known universe happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Last month Bill Nelson NASA's administrator said " we're going to give humanity a new view of the cosmos". And on Tuesday, July 12, 2022,  The telescope's first full-color images and spectroscopic data were released during a televised broadcast at 8:00 p.m. IST (10:30 a.m. EDT, 14:30 UTC) from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Some listed spots like "mountains" looking structure with shinning stars is the edge of nearby, young, star-forming region which is called as NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. The captured image shows the invisible areas of star birth for the first time which were previously invisible all thanks to NASA's new James Webb Space Telescope.

The Cosmic Cliffs & a Sea of Stars : As a three-dimensional picture it looks like collections of mountain cliffs. In reality, it is the edge of the giant, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, and the tallest peaks in the image are about 7 light-years high.

The atmosphere composition of the exoplanet WASP-96 b, NASA in its release said, "NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the distinct signature of water, along with evidence for clouds and haze, in the atmosphere  surrounding a hot, puffy gas giant planet orbiting a distant Sun-like star. The observation, which reveals the presence of specific gas molecules based on tiny decreases in the brightness of precise colors of light, is the most detailed of its kind to date, demonstrating Webb's unprecedented ability to analyze atmospheres hundreds of light-years away"

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope 

The James Webb Space Telescope is going to open an opportunity to penetrate farther than before and with greater clarity into the cosmos, to the dawn of the known universe. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the largest and most complex space science observatory ever built to transform our view of the universe and deliver world-class science. Led by NASA, in partnership with the European (ESA) and Canadian space agencies, Webb is an international collaboration involving hundreds of scientists and thousands of engineers. NASA innovates for the benefit of humanity and Webb is one of the great engineering feats of humanity. Engineers invented 10 new technologies to detect infrared light of distant astronomical objects that benefits us here on Earth - with applications in medicine, aerospace, and other fields.
