On July 11, 2022, the whole world discovered the first five images, like fireworks, chosen to impress and show the exceptional performance of the telescope. First there is a swarm of very old galaxies, only a few hundred million years after the big bang. Then that, evoking a magnificent colorful painting, of the Carina Nebula, a mass of dust which stands out against a deep blue sky. Less spectacular, but which excites specialists, is the analysis of the atmosphere of an exoplanet. Then, a titanic clash of galaxies, one of which seems to be smiling, Stephan’s Quintet. Finally, a remnant of a star explosion, the Southern Ring Nebula, which forms like a gigantic bubble in the cosmos.
