Nearly one million miles away from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope studies the cosmos.
Since launching on December 25, 2021, JWST has provided ground-breaking insights into the history of our universe. And 2024 has been no different. This year, JWST has already measured “hot Jupiter,” captured the birth of stars, found evidence of a neutron star in fiery supernova remains, and brought new insights to the study of wavy-armed spiral galaxies.
We’ve collected eight of our favorite JWST images of 2024 that capture the awe-inspiring glory of space.
