7 amazing infrared images of space captured by NASA

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the “antics” of a pair of actively forming young stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, in high-resolution near-infrared light.

Captured in infrared light, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.

This false colour image of Saturn is a combination of three images taken in January 1998 and shows the ringed planet in reflected infrared light.

This eerie Spitzer Space Telescope image shows infrared radiation from the well-studied Helix Nebula.

This image shows the infrared view of Ganymede, which was obtained by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft.

This image of the dusty debris disk surrounding the young star Fomalhaut is from Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
