Updated On Dec 24, 2022 06:44 PM IST

The year 2022 began on a high note, with the world anticipating the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) opening a new window to our universe. The telescope stood on the expectation and started delivering a never-before-seen view of space. The pictures taken from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) along with revealing deep secrets of space are also a magnificent sight to behold.
Here are top 10 images taken by Nasa's Webb Telescope that altered our perceptions and understanding of the Universe.

Sparkling clusters of millions of young stars and starburst regions of fresh star birth grace the image. Sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars are being pulled from several of the galaxies due to gravitational interactions. (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI)

This galaxy formed as the result of a high-speed collision that occurred about 400 million years ago. The Cartwheel is composed of two rings, a bright inner ring and a colourful outer ring. Both rings expand outward from the centre of the collision like shockwaves.(NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team)
