Within 48 hours after Webb’s First Deep Field was unveiled, the online store StemCell Science Shop listed a fanny pack and sweatshirt featuring the image. They don’t have to worry about how many items to pre-order or whether they’ll be able to sell all of their inventory. On-demand manufacturing, a production model, has enabled some online sellers to become more nimble than ever, creating listings within days. How changes in manufacturing changed online shops NASA images - along with videos, audio and other content - are typically not copyrighted, according to the agency’s website.

Retailers are free to use these images because they exist in the public domain. Other renowned space images, like the Pillars of Creation, have similarly become a fixture on products: jigsaw puzzles, pillow cases, jewelry and all sorts of other trinkets. In what seems like a similarly short timespan, images taken by the telescope have sprung up on light-up signs, sweatshirts, fanny packs and mugs. The JWST, considered a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, captured the galaxies shown in Webb’s First Deep Field over the course of 12.5 hours. “Webb’s image is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length, a tiny sliver of the vast universe,” NASA said.


The world got a chance this week to peer 13 billion years into our past after the James Webb Space Telescope took the deepest infrared image of the universe.
