Earlier today the space agency released a number of additional images and we've picked out a few of the most spectacular - suffice to say, there will be a lot more of these to look forward to over the coming years.

The Carina Nebula



This spectacular image shows the edge of a star-forming region of space in the Carina Nebula.Situated 7,600 light years away, it shows - for the first time - previously invisible stars thanks to the telescope's infrared capabilities.

Stephan's Quintet



This image shows a group of five galaxies - all of which being tightly bound - situated in the Pegasus constellation some 290 million light years away.

Southern Ring Nebula



These two images taken with different cameras show the expanding cloud of dust and gas around a dying star situated 2,500 light years from Earth.
