President Biden unveiled the first color image from NASA's new James Webb Space Telescope on Monday. This is the highest resolution infrared image of the universe ever taken.
The first "deep space" image from a $ 10 billion telescope, one million miles from Earth, shows the farthest human beings ever seen, both in time and distance. It was expected to show.NASAOfficials said before the big exposure. The
shot appeared shortly after the Big Bang, so it is filled withmany stars and distant galaxies.
The telescope will release four more galaxy shots on Tuesday. This includes a view of a giant gaseous planet outside the solar system, two images of a nebula where stars are born and die, and a classic update. Images of five dense galaxies dancing around each other.
The world's largest and most powerful James Webb Space Telescope of this kind was launched from French Guiana in South America last December and reached the desired observatory a month later.
Scientists plan to use a telescope to get a glimpse of the dawn of the universe 13.7 billion years ago. Then focus more and zoom in on objects in the closer universe.
NASA's new telescope is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, which we could look at until 13.4 billion years ago.
NASA's chief science mission, Thomas Zurbuchen, said in a recent media briefing that as a result of the new telescope, the universe "renounced the secrets that had been there for decades, centuries, and thousands of years." I am. "
"It's not an image, it's the new worldview you're trying to see," he said.
The Webb Telescope is a joint partnership between NASA and the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
