SMACS 0723: Webb has delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe so far – and in only 12.5 hours.They reveal the capabilities of all four of Webb’s state-of-the-art scientific instruments: Webb’s first observations were selected by a group of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. “The beautiful diversity and incredible detail of the Webb telescope’s images and data will have a profound impact on our understanding of the universe and inspire us to dream big.” “We are elated to celebrate this extraordinary day with the world,” said Greg Robinson, Webb program director at NASA Headquarters. It’s a stunning glimpse of the insights yet to come.” These first images show us how much we can accomplish when we come together behind a shared goal, to solve the cosmic mysteries that connect us all. “It took decades of drive and perseverance to get us here, and I am immensely proud of the Webb team. “This is a singular and historic moment,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. NASA explores the unknown in space for the benefit of all, and Webb’s first observations tell the story of the hidden universe through every phase of cosmic history – from neighboring planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. I can’t wait to see the discoveries that we uncover – the team is just getting started!” We take dreams and turn them into reality for the benefit of humanity. “The Webb team’s incredible success is a reflection of what NASA does best.
“These images, including the deepest infrared view of our universe that has ever been taken, show us how Webb will help to uncover the answers to questions we don’t even yet know to ask questions that will help us better understand our universe and humanity’s place within it. “Today, we present humanity with a groundbreaking new view of the cosmos from the James Webb Space Telescope – a view the world has never seen before,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
