JWST Discovers A Surprising Massive Early Galaxy That Should Be Rotating – But It Is NotAn area of deep space with thousands of galaxies in various shapes and sizes on a black background. Most are circles or ovals, with a few spirals. More distant galaxies are redder in colour and smaller, down to being mere dots, while closer galaxies are a bit larger and white or blueish. A few gold-coloured galaxies are bunched closely together in the centre. Bright stars surrounded by spikes lie in our galaxy.]

A Giant Ribbon, Storms, And Photobombing Moons In Incredible New JWST And Hubble Images Of SaturnSide-by-side comparison of Saturn observed at different wavelengths and times show how differently it appears in infrared, on the left, versus visible light, on the right. Left image is labeled Saturn, Webb Infrared Light, November 29, 2024. Right image is labeled Saturn, Hubble Visible Light, August 22, 2024. In the infrared, Saturn has horizontal bands, with bands at the north and south poles appearing darker orange and lightening to tan as they approach the equator. The north and south poles glow a greenish-grey. The rings appear in an icy neon white. White dots represent several of Saturn’s moons. In visible light, Saturn’s horizontal bands appear pale yellow, with some bands towards the north and south pole having a light blue hue. The rings appear bright white, glowing slightly less than Webb’s infrared image. White dots represent several of Saturn’s moon

One galaxy is highlighted with a magnified image in a graphic pull-out box in the lower right corner. The galaxy is labeled MoM-z14 and appears as a blurry yellow blob with a small red area at its top.
