The first set of full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope look to be clearer and more powerful than the previous Hubble pictures. As NASA Administrator Bill Nelson muses, the telescope represents "the best of NASA."

For some perspective, the Webb gets four times closer to the oldest galaxies formed after the Big Bang than the Hubble, according to NASA researchers. The agency also released an image of the exoplanet WASP-96b with various wavelengths of light that could lead to new information about it.

That's in addition to an image of the Southern Ring Nebula and the Carina Nebula, a region where stars are born that shows a new peek of stars in early stages of formation. See a gallery of the images HERE.
