The James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful observatory ever placed in orbit, has revealed the "deepest and sharpest infrared image of the early universe" ever taken, looking back more than 13 billion years, NASA said Monday.
The image, which covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length on the ground, is filled with thousands of galaxies and features the faintest objects ever observed.
