The picture is the deepest and sharpest of the distant universe to date
The first infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope is seen during a briefing with US President Joe Biden and NASA officials. The first image from the James Webb Space has been released, showing the deepest look at the cosmos ever captured.
The “deep field” image released at a White House event is filled with stars, massive galaxies in the foreground and faint and very distant galaxies.“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,” Jonathan Gardner, Webb’s deputy project scientist said during the media briefing.
Four images will be released on Tuesday, including a view of a giant gaseous planet outside our solar system, two images of a nebula where stars are born and die and an update of a classic image of five tightly clustered galaxies that dance around each other.It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
