UNIVERSE TOUR

In July 2022, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope observed El Gordo, a galaxy cluster that existed 6.2 billion years after the big bang. It was selected as the most massive galaxy cluster known at that time in cosmic history. The resulting image reveals a variety of gravitationally lensed galaxies, including striking objects nicknamed the Fishhook and the Thin One. Come with us on a video tour of this new infrared image from Webb.

This is the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) a stellar nursery also called "30 Doradus" that is 161,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Webb's NIRcam and MIRI images allow us to see never-before-seen details of this Cosmic Tarantula.

There are landing of the Space Shuttle discovery and endeavour in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
