Shockingly Beautiful First 5 Images from the James Webb Space Telescope Released@TheCosmosNews
#thecosmosnews First Images From NASA’s Webb Space Telescope Will Blow Your Mind!! First Images From NASA’s Webb Space Telescope https://www.nasa.gov/webbfirstimages * Carina Nebula * WASP-96b (spectrum) * Southern Ring Nebula * Stephan’s Quintet * SMACS 0723 * * Nasa has been working for more than two decades to present its "scientific marvel" of the first full-color pictures of the cosmos * The breathtaking images show the formation of stars and devouring black holes that give humanity "a view of the universe we ve never seen before" * The images of space exceed looking back over 13 billion years marking "a great engineering feat for humanity and planet Earth" * US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris "geeked out" after being shown the space images in advance at the White House * One picture showed a spectrum obtained for the atmosphere of WASP-96b, a giant planet outside our Solar System, about 1,150 light-years from Earth * We also saw the Southern Ring, a giant expanding sphere of gas and dust that’s been lit up by a dying star in the centre - Stephan’s Quintet located about 290 million light-years away - and the Carina Nebula, one of the largest and brightest nebulae revealing a "cosmic reef" Five stunning images of the early cosmos Nasa has been revealing breathtaking new images of the early universe, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. Four more images have been released today after the first full-color picture was unveiled yesterday. My favorite part was seeing the spectrum of a galaxy over 13 billion light-years away - I’ve been waiting impatiently to find out how the onboard spectrograph capable of taking spectra of hundreds of galaxies at once is performing. But the final image of the Carina Nebula had the most gasps from the people in the room. Absolutely stunning. The sharpness and level of detail in all the images have simply blown me away. Speechless when we first saw the images Klaus Pontopiddan, Webb project scientist, describes the moment the team started receiving information from the Webb telescope: “People were speechless, and there were emotions because we immediately could see how amazing this observatory would be – the detail, the sharpness, the depth – and when we saw the first color images we knew we had a winner.”
