The photos are packed with countless galaxies.

A team of scientists recently released a set of four huge deep-space galaxies taken by the Webb telescope. In total, the photographs are stitched together from 690 individual frames. The images were taken by the near-infrared camera of the Weber Telescope, covering a region of the sky that is about eight times larger than Webb's first deep-space photograph.
The photos are packed with countless galaxies, many of which have been photographed for the first time, and may include the most distant one to date. The position of these galaxies in the sky is close to the handle of the Big Dipper.
The scientists who took the photos belonged to a collaborative organization called the Scientific Survey of the Early Release of the Evolution of the Universe (CEERS), and taking huge photographs was part of their observational work. They plan to take 10 such photos in the first phase, the first four are announced so far, and the rest is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
The researchers recommend that people browse high-resolution versions of the photos, and it's best to zoom in. But the original resolution version is really too big, and it's a bit of a struggle on the phone's small screen. It is best to download the TIFF version of 255M on your computer. Here are some of the details in these photos. The original resolution image is linked at the end of the article.
Detail one. Blue spiral galaxies, in which there are a large number of star-producing regions, manifest as multiple bright spots (in addition to the galactic nucleus). The redshift value of the galaxy is about 0.16. JWST / CEERS
Detail two. An elliptical galaxy dragging a small galaxy with a long tail. The redshift value is 1.05. Scientists believe that this combination resembles a scene from the "Pac-Man" game. JWST / CEERS
Detail three. "Space Sea Monster". This is a group of entangled galaxies with a redshift value of 1.4. It resembles the legendary giant ancient sea monster "Kraken". JWST / CEERS
Detail four. A set of galaxies with a redshift value of about 0.7. The bright spot pointed to by the arrow is suspected to be a supernova. JWST / CEERS
Detail five. A large spiral galaxy with a redshift value of 0.7. Weber photographed a lot of detail within the galaxy. JWST / CEERS
Detail six. "Galactic Chaos Stew". There are two sets of galaxies here. The upper left set of galaxies with tidal tails has a redshift value of 0.63, and the lower right group of red galaxies has a redshift value of 1.85. Weber shows us many details of the process of galaxy fusion. JWST / CEERS

The "Maisie" galaxy and its location. Messi is probably one of the most distant galaxies to date, with a redshift value of up to 11.8. This means that it is only about the same time as the 400 millionth year after the Big Bang. Please turn your phone 90 degrees to the left to watch. JWST / CEERS
The Webb telescope used another device, a photo taken by a mid-infrared camera. The photo was dubbed "rainbow sugar" by scientists. JWST / CEERS
