US President Joe Biden has released the first image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope , showing the deepest view of the cosmos ever captured.The first image from the $13 billion telescope is the farthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of time and the edge of the universe.
Released at a White House event, the "deep field" image is filled with lots of stars, with massive galaxies in the foreground and faint and extremely distant galaxies peeking through here and there.Part of the image is light from not too long after the Big Bang, which was 13.8 billion years ago. This image will be followed tomorrow by the release of four more galactic beauty shots from the telescope’s initial outward gazes:a group of colliding galaxies called Stephan's Quintetthe chemical fingerprint of an atmosphere from a hellish alien planet about half the mass of Jupiter known as WASP-96b.
"What I've already seen has moved me as a scientist, as an engineer, as a human," NASA deputy administrator Pam Melroy said prior to the release of the first image.
