ASPIRE — Filament of 10 galaxies captured by NIRCam

A black field speckled with a variety of galaxies of numerous shapes and sizes.

The Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on the James Webb Space Telescope captured an arrangement of 10 distant galaxies marked by eight white circles in a diagonal, thread-like line. Two of the circles contain more than one galaxy.

The 10 marked galaxies existed just 830 million years after the Big Bang. (Credits: ESA, NASA, CSA, Feige Wang (University of Arizona))
