This image of the Stephen's Quintet was constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files, according to NASA.(NASA/Reuters)

US President Joe Biden unveiled the first image at the White House -- a jumble of distant galaxies that went deeper into the cosmos than humanity has ever seen. (Reuters)

The telescope also captured the "Cosmic Cliffs" of the Carina Nebula. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. (Reuters/NASA)

And lastly, the telescope also captured this cluster of young stars resembling an aerial burst, surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dust, in a nebula NGC 3603 located in the constellation Carina. (Reuters/NASA)
