NASA released never-seen-before images taken by the new and powerful James Webb Space Telescope on Tuesday, heralding a new era of astronomy as the images take us back to early universe, almost 13 billion years ago.
“Every image is a new discovery,” said NASA administrator Bill Nelson.
NASA images include a foamy blue and orange shot of a dying star. The first image from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope was released Monday at the White House - a jumble of distant galaxies that went deeper into the cosmos than humanity has ever seen. Tuesday’s four photos included more cosmic beauty shots. With one exception, the latest images showed parts of the universe seen by other telescopes. But Webb’s sheer power, distant location off Earth and use of the infrared light spectrum showed them in new light.
