Deepest Infrared Image of the Universe | JWST Paperweight

The deepest Infrared Image of the Universe (Galaxy Cluster SMACS 0723) taken by the James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) in 12.5 hours and unveiled on July 11, 2022. The galaxy cluster (as it was 4.6 billion years ago) is acting as a gravitational lens and give the chance to see more distant galaxies when the Universe was less than a billion years old. Thousands of colorful galaxies are visible in this "small" part of the sky. Stars are also visible and are identifiable by their diffraction spikes.
