The CEERS deep field released in August included one galaxy that existed just 390 million years after the Big Bang. In early July, the Space Telescope Science Institute released a 3D visualization of that deep field, which transports viewers through space (and, thus, time.)

It offers a new way of thinking about how far Webb can see.
