First color image of James Webb

streaming directly from White Houseresidence of the President of the United States, NASA showed the first color image James Webb Space Telescope. The image shows the deepest point in the universe captured by man. OUR color photo registered JWST shows several galaxies, some distorted by the gravity of the larger ones. As the director explained NASA live photo taken James Webb covers an area of ​​the sky equivalent to a person holding a grain of sand “at arm’s length” from the eyes to the sky. Such a tiny piece of the sky is home to all this multitude of galaxies.

At one point in the image is the light of a galaxy located more than 13 billion light-years from Earth, making it one of the oldest galaxies photographed by mankind. Scientists recently found a galaxy that is 13.5 billion years old.

Tomorrow, July 12 NASA will show other images taken James Webb telescope and will give more information about the photo presented today. The distribution of these images marks the beginning of scientific activity. JWST and its results will be presented in the coming months.

James Webb: years from production to release

project James Webb telescope was developed National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in collaboration with European and Canadian space agencies. It was originally supposed to be launched in 2007. But some problems delayed the launch of the model, one of them was the high cost of production of the James Webb telescope, which was increasing more and more and back in 2005 made Engineers rethink the original design.

In 2016, the telescope was declared ready, but its project was again put on hold due to construction difficulties and remained so until 2019, when it was finally assembled. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been more delays until NASA finally scheduled for release on December 18, 2021.

With it, researchers will be able to observe even more things from space, being able to see some of the oldest galaxies in the universe and other celestial bodies such as black holes.
