Infrared sensitivity

The JADES Deep Field uses observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of the JADES (JWST Advanced Deep Survey) program. A team of astronomers studying the JADES data identified about 80 objects (circled in green) that changed their brightness over time. Most of these objects, called transients, are the result of exploding stars or supernovae. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, JADES Collaboration
