This oval map shows the whole sky as observed by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS. The background is a deep blue-gray speckled with countless tiny dots and streaks. The plane of our Milky Way galaxy appears as a large, wispy pale arc sweeping around the center of the image. Pink dots speckle the map, marking the locations of over 1,000 confirmed exoplanets. A bright patch along the bottom edge just left of center shows the location of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. A few black lines and blocks are visible in the image, mostly on the left side of the map, indicating regions TESS has not yet imaged. This image is watermarked with “Credit: NASA/MIT/TESS and Nicole Schanche (University of Maryland College Park).”

NASA Webb teases a new image in World Space Week post

NASA Webb said in an X post for World Space Week that people searching for space facts might come across the telescope’s newest image, but the post itself did not include details about the image.

$A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas that extends from the star to the left border of the image. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust.
