Here comes a first full-colour picture from the new James Webb Space Telescope has been released. Webb identified its super-deep objects after only 12.5 hours of observations
As a consequence, it's possible this is even the deepest cosmic viewing field ever obtained.
The image is said to be the deepest, most detailed infrared view of the Universe to date, containing the light from galaxies that has taken many billions of years to reach us.
Further debut pictures from James Webb are due to be released by Nasa in a global presentation today, on Tuesday.
Scientists can tell from the quality of the data produced by Webb that the telescope is sensing space way beyond the most far-flung object in this image. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second (in 3D space).
They're going back about 13 and a half billion years. And since we know the Universe is 13.8 billion years old, you're going back almost to the beginning.
There are actually seven parallel levels in the universe - they will also emerge.
