US President Joe Biden has released the first image of a stunning galaxy cluster located about 4 billion light-years from Earth from the James Webb Space Telescope. At the ceremony held at the White House, NASA officials briefed Biden about the first photograph taken by the telescope.
Biden, in his speech here, underlined that the detailed photo and data sharing that NASA will make on July 12 will be of historical nature. Stating that the photos in question will be a demonstration of the power of the USA, Biden said, “These photos will show the whole world that America can do great things, and will especially remind American children that nothing is beyond our capacity.” made its assessment.
THE DEEPEST AND CLEAREST PHOTO
After Biden’s speech, a photograph of galaxies that had never been seen before with the human eye was shared with the public. The photograph in question is the deepest and clearest photograph ever taken of galaxies in the universe.
JAMES WEBB WILL RESEARCH LIFE ON PLANETS
NASA Director Bill Nelson, in his speech after the photo was shared, said, “You know, 100 years ago we believed that there was only one galaxy, now we know that there are countless billions of galaxies and suns.” used the phrase.
Stating that the telescope in question is trying to reach the 13-billion-year-old secrets of the universe, Nelson said that the James Webb telescope will try to determine whether there is life on these planets with the chemical studies it will make on the planets.
MORE PHOTOS WILL BE SHARED
NASA will share more photos and data from the James Webb Space Telescope with the public on July 12. The product of NASA’s collaboration with the European and Canadian space agencies, Webb is seen as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest and most powerful telescope ever built, but is approaching the end of its working life as it turns 31 years old.
The first color images to be released after Webb has completed its 6-month preparation period will represent the beginning of future science missions.
It is shared that the telescope, which opens the door to the mysteries of space, is able to capture “clear and well-focused” images and exhibits optical performance above expectations. The images to be presented by James Webb, known as the most advanced space telescope to date, are important for the formation of the universe and the discovery of possible other habitable planets.
The telescope is intended to study all phases of the history of the universe by capturing the light of the stars that first formed after the Big Bang 13.5 billion years ago.
