, revealing hitherto unseen features that deepen scientific understanding, the agency said Tuesday.
Webb operates primarily in the infrared spectrum, because light from objects in the distant cosmos has been stretched into this wavelength over the course of the Universe's expansion. The region was also imaged using the Mid-infrared Instrument , which uses longer wavelengths of infrared to pierce through dust grains that absorb or scatter shorter wavelengths.
