The first images from the James Webb Space telescope have been revealed. Incredibly clear images of the Carina Nebula, the Eight-Burst Nebula, a galaxy cluster called Stephan’s Quintet and an exoplanet named WASP-96b make up the first set of science data from JWST.

Here is the James Webb Space Telescope’s stunning first picture
President Biden revealed the NASA telescope’s image of ancient galaxies whose light has been traveling 13 billion years to reach us.
Astronomy: James Webb Telescope In The Cosmos
Decades of work, $10 billion in spending and nearly 14 billion years of cosmic history have brought us to this moment. The first science from the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful observatory ever built. What questions will it answer? What new mysteries will discover? What will this new eye on the cosmos reveal? The telescope’s first science images will be out VERY soon. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect when they drop.

CHILE’S VILLARRICA NATIONAL PARK—As a motley medley of mycologists climbed the basalt slopes of the Lanín volcano earlier this year, the green foliage at lower elevations gave way to autumnal golds and reds. Chile’s famed Araucaria—commonly called monkey puzzle trees—soon appeared, their spiny branches curving jauntily upward like so many cats’ tails.

This week in Nature: Higgs at 10 – Probing the properties of the most elusive particle in physics.
Research Highlights
- Painkillers are dispensed less freely by night-shift doctors Physicians show less empathy at the end of a night shift than after a daytime stint — and are less likely to prescribe drugs for treating pain. Research Highlight 27 Jun 2022
- ‘Smart’ clothing flexes to provide relief from the heat Garments laced with strips that flatten and bend help to cool a hot person or warm a cold one — without battery power. Research Highlight 29 Jun 2022
- Gut microbes that munch on orange pulp charge up metabolism A molecule that can be extracted from the fruit is linked to a decline in fat storage and faster breakdown of sugar in mice. Research Highlight 27 Jun 2022
- Even glaciers have a microbiome — including unique bacteria Glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau boast a wide diversity of microorganisms, including species found nowhere else.

An ash and gas plume rises from Hunga volcano, Tonga, on 14 January 2022. Global geophysical observations reveal that the climactic eruption that followed on 15 January produced a broad range of atmospheric waves, with pressure wave amplitudes comparable with those from the 1883 Krakatau eruption. While propagating over the world’s oceans, the remarkable atmospheric waves generated complex fast-traveling tsunamis. See pages 30, 91, and 95.

Order out of chaos
The cover shows an artistic representation of various cancer cells. The large-scale gains, losses and rearrangements of DNA seen in chromosomal instability are a typical feature of cancer — but there is no comprehensive framework to decode the causes of this genomic variability and their possible links to disease. In this week’s issue, Florian Markowetz, Geoff Macintyre and their colleagues present such a framework with a compendium of 17 signatures of chromosomal instability that can be used to predict how tumours might respond to drugs and that help to identify future therapeutic targets. The team created the compendium by examining 7,880 tumours representing 33 types of cancer. In a separate paper, Nischalan Pillay and colleagues examined 9,873 cancers to generate

How readily should we swallow the idea of diets that delay ageing?
The promise of a new diet that can add as much as a decade to your life is certainly tempting – and might well be proven to work – but for now should be swallowed with a pinch of salt
