Are you ready to see unprecedented, detailed views of the universe from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful space observatory ever made? Scroll down to see the first full-color images and data from Webb. Unfold the universe with us. ✨
This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars, called the Cosmic Cliffs, is the edge of the star-birthing Carina Nebula. Usually, the early phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb can peer through cosmic dust—thanks to its extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability. Protostellar jets clearly shoot out from some of these young stars in this new image.
The Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula: it’s an expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. In this new image, the nebula’s second, dimmer star is brought into full view, as well as the gas and dust it’s throwing out around it. (The brighter star is in its own stage of stellar evolution and will probably eject its own planetary nebula in the future.) These kinds of details will help us better understand how stars evolve and transform their environments. Finally, you might notice points of light in the background. Those aren’t stars—they’re distant galaxies.
Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies near each other, was discovered in 1877 and is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This new image brings the galaxy group from the silver screen to your screen in an enormous mosaic that is Webb’s largest image to date. The mosaic covers about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter; it contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. Never-before-seen details are on display: sparkling clusters of millions of young stars, fresh star births, sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars, and huge shock waves paint a dramatic picture of galactic interactions.
WASP-96 b is a giant, mostly gas planet outside our solar system, discovered in 2014. Webb’s Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) measured light from the WASP-96 system as the planet moved across the star. The light curve confirmed previous observations, but the transmission spectrum revealed new properties of the planet: an unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds in the atmosphere. This discovery marks a giant leap forward in the quest to find potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.
This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, looks 4.6 billion years into the past. Looking at infrared wavelengths beyond Hubble’s deepest fields, Webb’s sharp near-infrared view reveals thousands of galaxies—including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared—in the most detailed view of the early universe to date. We can now see tiny, faint structures we’ve never seen before, like star clusters and diffuse features and soon, we’ll begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.
These images and data are just the beginning of what the observatory will find. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

Any characters off limits?
Any more questions? Shoot and we’ll add them here.
im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorr-
Hi please look at my dog she looks like raw chicken
This might sound like a complicated ask but, how about Muichiro playing with Obanai's snake and his S/O just finds it adorable? And like, Obanai doesn't know what to think? He wants to take his snake back but he also kinda finds it adorable? So we just have this situation where Obanai and Muichiro's S/O are watching Muichiro and Obanai's snake being cute.
A/N: This was so cute!
This was a request sent to @ink-hashira, but she didn’t know how to write it so I did it instead!

“Mui? Mui, where are you- oh.”
It was a sunny day at the Butterfly Estate, and you were looking for your boyfriend, Muichiro, wondering if he wanted to eat lunch with you.
You found him sitting on the rocks in the garden, a curious look on his face. In his hands was Kaburamaru, Obanai’s snake friend. The white snake looked bored as Mui investigated it.
“What the hell is he doing?” A rough voice came from behind you. Obanai joined you on the deck, glaring at the Mist Pillar playing with his snake. “I didn’t say he could touch Kaburamaru.”
You sigh. “Sorry, Obanai.”
The Serpent Pillar scoffed. “He could’ve hurt the snake.” As he started forward to take the white snake away from the boy, you grabbed his arm.
“Wait, Obanai. Can’t you let him? He won’t hurt Kaburamaru, and besides, we can just watch him. You know he’s been curious about the world since he regained his memories; he never got to experience this before.”
Obanai glared at you for a moment, then relaxed. In a way, he saw himself in Muichiro and Mitsuri in you, just two young people in love. “Fine, then. He’d better not do anything wrong, though.”
You shook your head. “He won’t, I promise.”
The two of you decided to just sit for a while and observe the boy as he interacted with the reptile. He looked happy. You smiled at his little grin. When the snake’s tongue flickered out, tickling his face, he giggled and sneezed. How could he be so cute?
