Did you ever imagine that you could look back some five billion years and see what the universe was like back then? Now just turn on the screen and be mesmerized by the images collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest observatory ever placed in space.
This Tuesday, at 3:30 p.m., new images will be released, in this joint effort between the European Space Agency (ESA), NASA (US space agency) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). You can follow them with the Observer here.
Throughout the week, the space agencies will have a complete program to analyze and discuss the images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and the importance they will have for the investigation of the origin of the universe.
The first image of the telescope that was launched into space in December 2021 was released this Monday by NASA (US space agency), in the presence of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The image shows a patch of sky “about the size of a grain of sand,” the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723.
