    DescriptionFor Alastair Gunn, a radio astronomer at the University of Manchester, these images mark the start of JWST's voyage of discovery.

    "It will show us things we never knew existed, explain things that currently confuse us, and broaden our knowledge and perception of the Universe above our heads.

    "But the greatest discoveries a new instrument makes always turn out to be those that were never even envisaged by their designers. JWST will be no exception."
