NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has once again exceeded all expectations.
NASA released a spectacular image showing thousands of bright young stars, 5 light-years away from Earth.
In addition to young stars of various sizes and colors, the image reveals a cloud of dust and gas in which stars are forming.
This cloud is so large that it extends beyond the camera's field of view.
A cluster of very young stars, called Pismis 24, lies deep within it, which took over five hours to capture in the image.
James Webb, the largest and most powerful telescope ever sent into space, was launched four years ago.
It observes the universe in the infrared spectrum, which allows it to penetrate space dust and record scenes of star birth.
The distance to the nebula is 5.500 light years, with one light year being about 9.46 trillion kilometers. /KP/
