The two pictures were taken by JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). Each time it captures a picture, it uses a different filter to highlight the separate wavelengths of light.
The commissioning report summarises the six months of testing the JWST machine went through and was released on Wednesday alongside the first official set of deep space photos.
