The James Webb Space Telescope, which will soon succeed Hubble, has captured some stunning images of a neighbouring satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.

JWST primary mirror is made up of 18 hexagonal gold-plated beryllium mirror segments that together form a 6.5-meter (21-foot) diameter mirror, compared to Hubble's 2.4 m. (7.9 ft).

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)- and the quality of Webb's images far outweighs that of the now-retired Spitzer telescope.

The new images are taken by the JWST's MIRI (Mid Infrared Instrument), that features light from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
