NASA’s space telescope reveals sharpest infrared view of the universe to date
President Joe Biden has released one of the James Webb Space Telescope’s first images in a preview event at the White House in Washington. “Webb can see backwards in time to just after the Big Bang by looking for galaxies that are so far away that the light has taken many billions of years to get from those galaxies to our telescopes,” said Jonathan Gardner, Webb’s deputy project scientist said during the media briefing. Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s science mission chief said when he saw the images he got emotional and so did his colleagues: “It’s really hard to not look at the universe in new light and not just have a moment that is deeply personal.” At 21 feet, Webb’s gold-plated, flower-shaped mirror is the biggest and most sensitive ever sent into space. Ahead of the July 12 release, NASA had also released test image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
