Today is an auspicious day for the explorers. The farthest part of space photographed by man, i.e. the deepest photo taken in the universe, was made public today by NASA. This was first taken by NASA's James Webb and released today by US President Joe Biden.

Through this picture, man can see galaxies that have not been seen by any telescope before. It took James Webb less than a day to take this picture. Previously, such images were taken using the Hubble Space Telescope. So it takes a few weeks for the Hubble telescope to get a photo like this.
Jamea Webb is the most powerful telescope launched by man. This is about 10 billion US dollars. Below I will attach a photo of the SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster located 4.6 billion light-years away by the Hubble telescope, which has taken many important images so far. You can tell the difference.

The galaxies shown here are only 13 billion light-years away from Earth. That means if you travel at a speed of 186,000 miles per second (if you travel at the speed of light), it will take 13 billion years to reach this galaxy. So maybe these existing planets and galaxies may have been destroyed by now. Remember this is a picture light years away.
NASA says that if you take a small grain of sand and place it at arm's length and look at the sky, you can see a part of the sky that is covered by that grain of sand.
NASA hopes to take pictures of even more distant, deep space with the James Webb Space Telescope. They say it will allow us to capture the state of the universe just moments after its beginning. Tomorrow, NASA hopes to release 11 more color images to the public.
