"On Monday, July 11, US President Joe Biden released one of the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope) at an event at the White House in Washington," NASA said in a press release.
Webb's first set of color images and spectroscopic data will be released today, Tuesday 12 July at 17:30.
The first image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date.
Also known as Webb's First Deep Field, this image of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 shows a lot of detail.
Thousands of galaxies appear for the first time, along with the faintest objects ever seen in the infrared. This patch of the vast universe covers a patch of sky about the size of a grain of sand.
The first images to be released from the world's largest and most powerful space telescope will show Webb at full power, ready to begin its mission to explore the infrared universe.
The first images will be added to this NASA page.
