NASA Webb Image Coming This Week

At least every other week, NASA says the space agency will release a new image depicting a galaxy pair or spectrum from the James Webb Space Telescope on the mission’s blog.

The image will be published on the blog on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. EDT. Meanwhile, learn more about what to expect as Webb’s observations progress from unpublished raw data to published, peer-reviewed science.

The deepest infrared view of the universe to date will be shown in the first publicly accessible science-quality image from NASA’s JWST, which will be shown on July 11, 2022.

The $10 billion JWST was launched by an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket on December 25, 2021, at 7:20 a.m. EST (12:20 GMT; 9:20 a.m. local time in Kourou) from the ESA’s launch site in Kourou, French Guiana. It is currently the largest and most powerful space telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a partnered program of NASA-National Aeronautics & Space Administration, ESA-European Space Agency, CSA-Canadian Space Agency, and other team members.
