NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has for the first time captured an image of what our galaxy likely looked like just as it was forming — and it’s got space scientists feeling very Christmassy.

The image shows ten balls of stars of different colours, appearing like Christmas tree baubles hanging in the cosmos.
