The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. It will solve mysteries in our solar system and look beyond distant worlds. It’s been months James Webb telescope is launched. On Monday 11, President Joe Biden released one of the James Webb Space telescope’s first image in a preview event at White House. NASA along with ESA with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) will release full set of Webb’s first full color images from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland. The first image taken from NASA’s James Webb telescope is deepest and sharpened image of distant universe known to date. This image shows galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion ago.
The image released has thousands of galaxies including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared which has appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This size of vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground. This deep field taken by Webb’s near infrared camera is a composite made from images at different wavelengths totaling 12.5 hours achieving depths of infrared wavelength beyond Hubble Space telescope’s deepest fields which took weeks.
The combines mass of this cluster acts as gravitational lens magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it . Webb’s NIR Cam has brought distant galaxies into sharp focus. Researchers will soon begin to learn about galaxies’ masses, ages and histories. This image is telescope’s first full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday,. July 12 at 10:30 EDT (7:30 a.m PDT) during a live NASA TV broadcast.
