As promised: JWST image of the deep universe, showing insane amount of galaxies gravitationally bound together. esawebb.org/images/weic2... 🔭 🧪

$This annotated image shows hundreds of galaxies appearing in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. Dozens of galaxies are individually identified with white circles, and a large white circle in the centre of the image highlights the collection of gravitationally-bound galaxies in the field. The bottom of the image shows a close-up of seven of these central galaxies. The objects visible in the image include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies, as well as numerous tiny orange dots that appear throughout the scene.$
