NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe so far with it's first image. Webb’s First Deep Field is galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and it is teeming with thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared. Webb’s image is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length, a tiny sliver of the vast universe. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying more distant galaxies, including some seen when the universe was less than a billion years old. This deep field, taken by Webb’s 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 Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks. And this is only the beginning. Researchers will continue to use Webb to take longer exposures, revealing more of our vast universe. Acrylic prints offer vibrant, high-resolution images with a glossy, glass-like finish and stunning depth. Durable and scratch-resistant, they’re ideal for luxury home décor, corporate offices, galleries, and modern art displays: Exposure Date: 6/7/2022 Release Date: 7/12/2022 Material: 4mm (0.15") acrylic for a sleek, vibrant, and durable finish. Design: Straight-cut corners for a modern look. Transparent backgrounds default to white for optimal presentation. Hanging Kit: Includes hardware, screws, and screw holes at each corner (14mm (0.55") from the edge, with an 8mm (0.31") diameter hole and 15mm (0.6") screw head). Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, CXC
