  • President Joe Biden unveiled this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webbs First Deep Field, during a White House event Monday, July 11
  • Webbs image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arms length by someone on the ground and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe
  • Webbs sharp near-infrared view brought out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most detailed view of the early universe to date
  • NASA and its partners will release the full series of Webbs first full-color images and data, known as spectra, Tuesday, July 12, during a live NASA TV broadcast


NASAs James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webbs First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

Thousands of galaxies including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared have appeared in Webbs view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arms length by someone on the ground.

This deep field, taken by Webbs Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescopes deepest fields, which took weeks.

The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webbs NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.

This image is among the telescopes first-full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT, during a live NASA TV broadcast. Learn more about how to watch.
