This isn’t the first time, however, images from NASA’s brand-new James Webb Space Telescope have looked like something out of the “whoniverse”.
In fact, last week, fans joked that the first JWST image released by NASA looked eerily similar to the version of the starfield title sequence used during the tenure of Colin Baker’s Doctor, from 1984’s “The Twin Dilemma” through to 1986’s “The Trial of a Time Lord”.
On Twitter, the official Doctor Who account (@bbcdoctorwho) quipped: “We’ve seen this one before…”
As it happens, however, the stunning NASA image actually depicts faint galaxies in the direction of the constellation of Volans — as they appeared a whopping 13.5 billion years ago — only 0.3 billion years after the universe first formed.
