Read our privacy policy While the world waits for Nasa to release the first fully processed images from the now operational James Webb Space Telescope on 12 July, the space agency has released a teaser image to whet everyones’ appetite. In a Wednesday blog post, Nasa released an image taken with Webb’s Fine Guidance System, an instrument that typically helps point the telescope at celestial objects to image with Webb’s more powerful, dedicated infrared instruments. “The faintest blobs in this image are exactly the types of faint galaxies that Webb will study in its first year of science operations,” Jane Rigby, Webb operations scientist at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement. Just such a full resolution, color image of the deepest galaxies in the Cosmos is among the images to be released on 12 July, according to statements by Nasa administrator Bill Nelson.
