Read our privacy policy The first pictures from the James Webb Space Telescope have been made public, beginning with the first image of deep space revealed by US president Joe Biden, the furthest humanity has ever seen into the recesses of the universe, and the deepest anyone has ever peered backward in time. “JWST will revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos across an enormous range of scales,” he said, “from the properties of planets orbiting other nearby stars, to the first stars that formed out of primordial gas in the universe’s dark ages, not long after the Big Bang.” The furthest galaxies in the Webb deep field image released on Monday are about 13 billion years old, but Webb will go further than that. “What happened after the big bang?” Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist and senior Webb project scientist at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center John Mather said in a statement. “How did the expanding universe cool down and make black holes and galaxies and stars and planets and people?” The full suite of Webb’s first images to be released on Tuesday will also offer hints at how the instrument could change human understanding of our place in the universe.
