While initially planned to have all the images announced tomorrow at an event at the Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA announced Sunday that Administrator Nelson and President Biden would reveal one of the images at the White House Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

And wow did NASA not disappoint. James Webb Space Telescope\u2019s first color image features what is known as SMACS 0723 (full name SMACS J0723.3-7327). Hubble visited this group of galaxies, showing a deep field of galaxies showing some of the furthest known objects we\u2019ve been able to see, and now we can see even further.<\/p>\n

To see further, NASA needed a newer and larger telescope, and that\u2019s what JWST has been able to do. Launched on Christmas Day 2021, Webb has spent the last six months commissioning its instruments and sharing test photos along the way. But now we have the formal first color image from JWST, which looks like a grain of sand from our point of view but zoomed in, we can see thousands of galaxies. This photo by Webb was taken apparently in only one day, Hubble\u2019s deep fields would take weeks to capture.<\/p>\n
