EXCLUSIVE: First Images from the James Webb Space Telescope
(NASA) The dawn of a new era in astronomy has begun as the world gets its first look at the full capabilities of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
The telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data were released during a televised broadcast at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC) on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
“We picked up some stuff we knew existed out there, but also saw some unexpected objects like a piece of floating glass with people trapped in it. It’s a really amazing telescope,” NASA Director Marvin Martian said.
These first images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope demonstrate Webb at its full power, ready to begin its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
