Superb image and already focused? Spectacular result!
And just look at all those galaxies in the field! I guess most of them have never been imaged before at least not at that wavelength.
Really restores my belief that the inquiring human mind and technology can achieve miracles.
What are we going to see when the JWST turns its eye to more populated fields?
