Hover just above a black hole's glowing accretion disc. Bent by gravity, its far side arcs up over the dark shadow, while the Crab Nebula and the Rho Ophiuchi clouds, photographed by Webb, slowly drift past through a field of stars.
A black hole's shadow sits inside a bright ring of light, bent by gravity from its glowing accretion disc, while the Tarantula Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula, photographed by Webb, slowly drift behind it through a field of stars.
Saturn's pale golden bands turn slowly within its broad rings, and the planet casts a curved shadow across the rings behind it, against the darkness of space and a quiet field of stars.
Neptune's blue globe turns slowly in the darkness of space. Pale bands stream across its illuminated face as bright clouds circle the Great Dark Spot, with quiet stars beyond.
Jupiter's ivory and copper cloud bands curve across a slowly turning globe, drifting gently past one another against the darkness of space and a quiet field of stars.
Earth’s curved horizon from 400 km above California, beneath real catalogued stars and the Sun.
Mars turns slowly in the darkness of space. Rust-red plains and darker surface markings cross its illuminated face, edged by a subtle warm atmospheric rim.
The Moon turns slowly against the darkness of space. Pale highlands and darker lunar plains trace its softly lit face beneath a quiet field of stars.
A complete Earth turns slowly beneath a still field of stars.
