With Meta Quest 2, you can view the James Webb Space Telescope footage in cinematic virtual reality format and possibly discover new details.

On July 11 and 12, NASA, ESA and CSA presented the first images of the telescope, which is located at a distance of about 932,000 miles from Earth. The images reach deeper and farther back into the history of the universe than any previous images and provide new insights into the formation of galaxies.

Featured are the star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula (see cover image), a group of five galaxies called Stephens Quintet, and the Southern Ring Nebula, catalogued as NGC 3132, 2,500 light-years away.

Meta packaged the images into a virtual reality movie that shows the high-resolution images at various zoom levels. The widest format fills the Meta Quest 2s field of view. It looks like sitting in the front row of a movie theater and looking at a big screen. This allows you to immerse yourself in the telescopes footage and see new details that would be difficult to see on a smartphone or monitor.

You can find the VR movie on Oculus TV by typing James Webb into the search field.
