The world’s biggest and most powerful space telescope rocketed away last December from French Guiana in South America.
#SNAPPY CASUAL UPDATE#
The images on tap for Tuesday include a view of a giant gaseous planet outside our solar system, two images of a nebula where stars are born and die in spectacular beauty and an update of a classic image of five tightly clustered galaxies that dance around each other. “And it’s a view that we’ve never seen before.” “We’re going to give humanity a new view of the cosmos,” Nasa administrator Bill Nelson told reporters last month in a briefing. Part of the image is light from not too long after the Big Bang, which was 13.8 billion years ago. The “deep field” image released at a White House event is filled with lots of stars, with massive galaxies in the foreground and faint and extremely distant galaxies peeking through here and there. That image will be followed on Tuesday by the release of four more galactic beauty shots from the telescope’s initial outward gazes. The first image from the 10 billion dollars James Webb Space Telescope is the farthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of time and the edge of the universe. The first image from Nasa’s new space telescope has been unveiled – brimming with galaxies and offering the deepest look of the cosmos ever captured.
