Here's what the October 2023 eclipse looked like from space (GOES-16 satellite) 

This young star surrounded by a disk of material that will feed the star system for millions of years was the main target of JWST observations
But it also accidentally found what seems to be...the universe asking us a question
A cosmic question mark
It's unclear what this is but most likely a result of ancient galactic collision or possibly a distorted galactic body

A few media outlets recently talked about James Webb Space Telescope spotting Dark Stars (dark matter stars)
This is not a new story, but here's the exact explanation 

To celebrate first anniversary of James Webb Space Telescope NASA recently released this gorgeous image of a star forming complex Rho Ophiuchi, the closest such structure to Earth
Many stars visible in the center are discs similar in mass to the Sun or smaller but still developing into full fledged stars
Colored gas surrounding stars consists of carbon-based molecules
