Ice ice baby! Webb found crystalline water ice in a debris disk around a young, Sun-like star. Scientists expected to see it in other star systems, because of its presence in our own - but haven't had sensitive enough instruments to give definitive proof until now.

Neptune is glowing—and it’s not what we expected. Webb just spotted auroras stretching across Neptune’s mid-latitudes—not the poles. Why? The planet’s bizarre magnetic field and a shockingly cold upper atmosphere may hold the answer.

Webb can see an era in the early universe that we've never seen before, but that's only a fraction of the universe's total size! Hear more about how big space really is from Dr. Amber Straugh, Webb's Deputy Project Scientist! 👇

We often ask the age-old question … what came first, the chicken or the egg? Regarding the cosmos, astronomers often wonder which objects formed first: galaxies or their central supermassive black hole.

Asteroid watch! 👀 Webb was able to help refine, by nearly 20%, our knowledge of the asteroid 2024 YR4’s orbit, and the (super tiny) odds of it impacting the Moon in 2032. go.nasa.gov/4kW9itL

“We built something that was so ambitious, if it didn’t work at all, we would be terrified. But if it did work, we would be guaranteed tremendous discoveries.” Hint: 👀 plus

"There aren’t many things these days that almost everyone on planet Earth can feel inspired about, but I feel like the images from Webb are one of those things. They bring in a sense of wonder.” 👀 plus.nasa

“We’re going to change how we understand the universe. We’re going to see all the way back, to the very beginning of the universe–what we call Cosmic Dawn.” Hint: 👀 plus.nasa.gov

Exoplanets are cool 😎 Here’s Webb’s view of 14 Her c, a chilly 26 degrees F (-3 C) in temperature, and one of the coldest exoplanets imaged to date. It’s hard to capture objects this faint - but Webb was up to the challenge. go.nasa.gov/4kD5HB6
