Fly to Maisie's Galaxy in this 3D visualization of a small portion of the CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science) Survey from #JWST.

We travel about 200 million light-years into the data set each second and see 200 million years further into the past.

The video ends at a galaxy, named in honor of the Principal Investigator's daughter, which we see as it was 390 million years after the Big Bang, or about 13.4 billion years ago.

A video that displays thousands of galaxies. The video begins with an image of several thousand galaxies. The words “Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science” are overlaid on the image before the words are reduced to their initials, C E E R S, and a second set of words appear next to it that say “Flight to Maisie’s Galaxy.” These labels disappear and the video begins, zooming in and moving the field of view toward the right for several seconds to reveal even more galaxies shaped like fuzzy ovals and streaks. The video then pans left for several seconds, revealing galaxies of different shapes that are mostly yellow and red. As the video moves to the right again, there is a noticeably lower distribution of galaxies. These galaxies are also fuzzier with less defined shapes. Lastly, the video zooms into the center, revealing a single, fuzzy red galaxy, Maisie’s Galaxy. The video ends with labels for the credits, which are listed lower in the caption.
