The Loop: Australia's airport delays drag on, James Webb Space Telescope peers deep into the cosmos, and injuries at the running of the bulls

Hi there. It's Tuesday, July 12 and you're reading The Loop, a quick wrap-up of today's news.

Let's start here: Delays at Australian airports are dragging on

As school holidays continue in some states, there are still delays at some of Australia's major airports.

Here's what you need to know:

• Domestic flight delays have been reported at airports in Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane this week
• Bad weather and staff shortages are being blamed for many of the delays
• Some people have had their flights cancelled at short notice
• The Transport Workers' Union has renewed calls for an independent tribunal to look at structural issues within the sector

Today we got the deepest image of space ever captured

US President Joe Biden did the honours this morning, releasing the first image from the $13 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

It's the furthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, reaching back towards the dawn of time and the edge of the universe.

The "deep field" image shows lots of stars, with massive galaxies in the foreground and more distant ones in the background.

Professor Cathryn Trott from Curtin University said weak light from these distant galaxies are warped by the cluster of galaxies between us and the early universe.

And here's how the image compares to an older one from the Hubble Space Telescope:

More images from the JWST are expected to be released on Wednesday.

One more thing: The bulls are back in town

Spain's Festival of San Fermín is taking place in Pamplona at the moment, and the first injuries have been reported after the fifth running of the bulls for the year.

The event is back after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with three people gored while hundreds ran alongside six fighting bulls for just over three minutes.

There are three more daily runs before the festival ends on Thursday.
