an undulating, translucent star-forming region in the Carina Nebula is shown in this Webb image, hued in ambers and blues; foreground stars with diffraction spikes can be seen, as can a speckling of background points of light through the cloudy nebula

‘I’m beyond stoked.’ For local astronomers, first Webb telescope images elicit awe, wonder, and relief.
