ALT Composite image of edge-on spiral starburst galaxy Messier 82 as observed by NASA's James Webb and Hubble space telescopes. Hourglass-shaped plumes of gas are shooting outward from above and below a bright blue-white, disk-shaped center. The plumes are yellow near the galaxy’s bright center, denoting areas of ionized hydrogen gas as observed by Hubble, and gradually become redder as you move farther away. Messier 82 is set against the black background of space, which has many distant galaxies that appear as small white and orange spirals, ovals, and points of light. Toward the right of Messier 82 is a blue-white star with eight-pointed diffraction spikes that are characteristic of Webb.

ALT The disk of a spiral galaxy stretches across the image, with a softly glowing orange core and spiral arms laced with brown dust and blue patches of stars.

ALT A spiral galaxy viewed at an angle, with a bright central bulge and winding spiral arms. The arms form a ring around the galaxy, without appearing to reach its center. Prominent red-brown dust lanes weave through the arms, which are also dotted with bright blue and reddish regions of star formation. The galaxy is set against a dark background scattered with stars and faint distant galaxies.

ALT Three large white spherical radio antennas at the repaired Guam Remote Station stand behind a security fence on a grassy field. A rainbow arcs through the partly cloudy blue sky behind the antennas.

ALT A smiling group of people gather behind a red ribbon. The radome of a large ground station antenna sits behind them.

ALT A nebula glows in bright shades of pink and blue, forming a multilayered blob that shines against black space, dotted with orange stars.

ALT A spiral galaxy in pinks and purples, shown at an angle, like a tipped dinner plate facing our upper left. From this vantage point, the spiraling arms look thick and frothy, resembling the top of a swirled strawberry milkshake. Clouds of royal blue appear to drift from the brilliant golden white core. These are superheated shock waves created by central black hole jets.

ALT A sparkling collection of white stars shines against black space, more closely concentrated at center.

ALT A dense field of stars fills the image, surrounded by wispy clouds of gas and dust. Pale blue and gray nebulosity forms an intricate web across the scene, with darker clouds of dust concentrated towards the lower right. Numerous bright stars appear in shades of blue, white, and orange.

ALT A rectangular image with thousands of galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. Some are noticeably spirals, either face-on or edge-on, while others are blobby ellipticals. Many are too small to discern any structure. One prominent foreground star at top center features Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes. At upper right, a box shows a zoomed in portion of the image. The pullout features a spiral galaxy labeled “WISEA J123635.56+621424.2.” The galaxy has a bright yellow center and faint brown arms speckled with regions of blue that appear to wind clockwise around the galaxy’s core.

ALT Side-by-side comparison of two views of the gas giant Saturn, labeled “August 29, 2025” at the top left corner. At left is a straight-on view of Saturn, a globe with pale yellow horizontal bands at the equator and orange and pink at the mid-latitudes. Some bands towards the north and south pole have a light blue hue. There are prominent horizontal rings circling at the equator. At right, labeled “Saturn’s south pole,” the south-polar view of Saturn shows concentric bands in its atmosphere, mostly tan and orange, surrounding a dark central region that has a 10-sided outline. A small, dashed circle at the very center of the pole with an “X” inside denotes missing data.

ALT A roughly spherical group of golden stars shines against black space, more closely concentrated at center.
