First James Webb Space Telescope photos reveal planets, galaxies and exploding stars



Jul 12, 2022 From the oldest light in the universe to planets and nebula, the first photos taken by the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed some marvelous sights. NASA released the first set of photos Tuesday at 9:30am CST just a few months after the largest satellite ever built went into service in deep space.

NASA unveils first color image from James Webb Space Telescope



Jul 11, 2022 President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and NASA officials on Monday unveiled the first color image from James Webb Space Telescope. NASA plans to release additional "first light" images on Tuesday. "These images are going to remind the world that America can do big things. And remind the American people, especially our children, that there's nothing beyond our capacity... We can see possibilities no one has ever seen before," Biden said.

These images are incredible. Just as mind-blowing as the Deep Field from Hubble.

IT HAPPENED! James Webb Space Telescope captures the best image of Neptune's rings in decades

NASASpaceNews

With its first picture of Neptune, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope demonstrates its abilities on a far more recognizable scale. Webb's cameras not only provide the finest glimpse of this faraway planet's rings in over 30 years, but also shed fresh insight on the ice giant.

Webb's latest photograph stands out because it provides a clear look of Neptune's rings, some of which have not been seen since NASA's Voyager 2 flew past the planet in 1989. The fainter dust bands of Neptune are also visible in the Webb picture, along with many brilliant, thin rings.

It slsowas also announced this week by NASA that one of the four viewing modes on Webb's Mid-Infrared (MIRI) sensor is malfunctioning. The implementation of a mechanism that allows for medium-resolution spectroscopy, one of these modes, has run into some difficulties. NASA has identified the issue and is planning a solution. As of Wednesday, NASA's Webb telescope programme scientist Eric Smith indicated that he does not believe this problem would prevent the device from being used in the long run

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Unbelievably Detailed 122-Megapixel Image of the Pillars of Creation

In 1995, the Hubble Telescope captured the first image of a region of space called the Pillars of Creation, where new stars are born. As part of the Eagle Nebula, it lies 6,500 light-years away from the Earth, making the photograph all the more incredible to look at when considering the distance. And while the Hubble's images from 1995 and later, in 2014, are impressive, a new photograph from the more-advanced James Webb Space Telescope showcases this astronomical sight in never-before-seen detail.

James Webb Space Telescope images shatter understanding of age of the universe

The James Webb Space Telescope found six massive galaxies that some scientists never thought could exist. The telescope is so powerful it might have just shattered scientific understanding of the universe. Theoretical Physicist and best selling author Dr. Michio Kaku talked to Gadi Schwartz about the groundbreaking report.
