The space telescope's image of a odd-looking spiral galaxy is, in reality, two distant galaxies overlapping each other.

Scientists studying one of the earliest known galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's Era of Reionization may have occurred much earlier than previously thought.

Webb has filled in many gaps left by Voyager 2, the only spacecraft to visit the planet. In 2022, the telescope captured Neptune's ghostly rings and revealed a band of clouds around a known vortex at the planet's south pole for the first time.
