About Solar Beam: James Webb Images
Every great image from the James Webb Space Telescope, with the story behind it — plus the Astronomy Picture of the Day every morning and the asteroids passing Earth this week. Solar Beam is free, and your first week includes everything in Premium. THE JAMES WEBB GALLERY Explore a curated gallery of Webb's most breathtaking images, straight from the ESA/Webb archive. Every image comes with its real caption, credit, distance, and sky position — the Cosmic Cliffs, the Pillars of Creation, Webb's first deep field, and hundreds more. Browse by collection — Nebulae, Galaxies, Star Birth, Our Solar System, Deep & Distant — or search for any target. WHERE IS WEBB A live status dashboard for the telescope itself: how many days it's been in space, its orbit at Lagrange Point 2 a million-plus miles away, and the astonishing temperature contrast between its sun-facing side and its supercooled instruments. 4K WALLPAPERS Save any Webb image as a 4K wallpaper or full-resolution download — straight from the source. WIDGETS NASA's Picture of the Day on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, in every size — free. Premium adds Webb Daily: a different curated James Webb image on your Home Screen every day.
