On Tuesday, NASA revealed five mind-boggling images from the James Webb Space Telescope—the most powerful telescope ever launched into space, currently one million miles away.

The JWST is humanity's newest and best way to look deep into the cosmos, all the way back to the period of time immediately after the Big Bang. The telescope is 100 times more powerful than Hubble, and is capable of capturing longer infrared wavelengths, which will let it see galaxies that are further away, or highly redshifted. Space is curious in that looking further into the distance means we are also looking back in time, and so in seeking the most ancient stars and galaxies, JWST is effectively looking at the beginning of time and space.
