WASHINGTON, July 13 / WAM / The US space agency “NASA” has published the complete set of the first images taken by the James Webb Telescope, in footage that celebrates the beginning of a new era in astronomy that scientists have been waiting for for many years.
It was published on a television program in an hour-long live broadcast, which included the publication of images one after another, which showed two nebulae “two groups of celestial bodies” showing the life cycle of stars, a planet outside the solar system, and a compact group of galaxies.
One of the published images showed a planet outside the solar system, that is, orbiting a star other than our sun, which is one of the main research axes of the telescope.
The main missions of the James Webb Telescope are to explore the early ages of the universe and astronomy.
Bill Nelson, President of the US Space Agency, said: “Every image is a new discovery,” considering that “every snapshot will give humanity a view of the universe as we have never seen it before.”
It is worth noting that the telescope is equipped with a quantity of fuel, which allows it to operate for 20 years. 20,000 people from around the world worked on this project, which made it the fruit of tremendous international cooperation.
