The most powerful Webb space telescope in history released the first cosmic images on the 12th – News – Rti Central Radio

The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to release breath-taking new images of the cosmos on Tuesday with a resolution never seen before. The Webb Space Telescope is the most powerful space telescope ever sent to space by humans.

NASA said on the 8th that distant galaxies, bright nebulae and distant gas giants (gas-giants) are the primary targets of observation.

The images have been carefully preserved and kept under wraps until the grand release.

“I’m really looking forward to not having to keep these secrets anymore, it’s a huge relief,” Klaus Pontoppidan, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute who oversees Webb, told AFP.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson promised it would be “the deepest image ever captured in the universe.”

The Webb Space Telescope’s infrared capabilities make it extremely powerful, both penetrating cosmic dust clouds and detecting light from the earliest stars.

This allows the Webb Space Telescope to observe earlier than any telescope in the past, as far back as 13.8 billion years ago, shortly after the Big Bang.
