James-Webb, the most powerful space telescope in history, launched into space in December 2021 is now operational! The teams will unveil their very first images this Tuesday, July 12, a historic event to follow live on our special live broadcast!
The wait is finally almost over! the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful and largest space telescope ever designed is now operational! Launched on December 25, 2021 from Guyana on an Ariane 5, the astronomical juggernaut has spent the last seven months traveling, deploying, calibrating and testing itself 1.5 million kilometers from our Earth.
We had already been able to admire the prowess of the telescope through his first pictures a few weeks ago. But these were “only” calibration images, raw images. In a week, on July 12, the telescope teams will unveil the very first scientific data, and the result promises to be breathtaking.
Indeed, NASA promises the deepest image of theUniversea look at our existence as humanity has never known, the mythical deep field of Hubble could well be dethroned!
