Two tile image showing a nebula in space that is a long swath of reddish gas with a dark cloud in the centre. The dark cloud is in the shape of a Horsehead. The top tile is a wide angle shot whilst the lower tile is a zoomed in shot. A white box is annotated on the region of the Horsehead nebula that indicates the field of view from the telescope.

Wooooaaahhhh!
The new JWST image of a small bit of the Horsehead Nebula is INCREDIBLE.
To give you a sense of scale here, here’s an image of the nebula from my backyard. That small white box … that’s the JWST field of view! 🤯🤯🤯
Look at ALL those galaxies, all in that tiny white box.

Dodgy image with white boxes is my own.
