NASA’s Webb Delivers Deepest Infrared Image of Universe Yet
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.
Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
More to be released tomorrow: NASA Updates Coverage for Webb Telescope’s First Images Reveal
Great work - this is what NASA should be doing. Rockets need to be commercialized. Be made a commodity.
Deep science is NASA's core competency.
