CNN — A stellar nursery where stars are born, interactions between galaxies and a unique view of an exoplanet are just some of the new cosmic images that will be shared Tuesday.
After decades of waiting, it’s finally time for the world to see the first images taken by the most powerful space telescope ever – the James Webb Space Telescope.
Development of the world’s premier space observatory began in 2004, and after years of delays, the telescope and its massive gold mirror finally launched on December 25.
The images are worth the wait – and they will forever change the way we see the universe.
President Joe Biden released one of Webb’s first images on Monday, and it is “the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date,” according to NASA. The rest of the high-resolution color images will make their debut on Tuesday.
There are several events taking place during Tuesday’s image release, and all of them will stream live on NASA’s website.

Is it called an ex-oplanet because it stopped taking our phone calls?
All of the answers will be revealed.
Then we just have to learn what are the questions.
Hubbell Before, Webb After
Wow we can see totally useless stuff in hi def.
Only if you stop paying child support....................
Ping Post #5.........................
Now that we can SEE all the other galaxies out there that were basically invisible to us, maybe they can dispense with that dumb DARK MATTER theory they have been clinging to for decades.....
Everyone can have his own galaxy.
You get a galaxy! And you get a galaxy!
You think knowledge is useless? Interesting.
Without science like this we would not be able to use GPS. This is absolute proof of Einstein’s theory of relativity.
That is just one example of how ‘useless’ knowledge like this translates over to everyday life.
And Velcro. We have NASA to thank for Velcro. Or was it the aliens? I forget.
The folks already in those galaxies might have a say in that. Lol.
Velcro, no, not NASA.
Velcro was developed by some guy brushing burrs out of his dog’s coat. He looked closer to see why the burrs clung so tight to the fur, and discovered that the have tiny hooked ends.
NASA did great things, like powdered orange juice.
And you think this is useless. An incurious mind is truly a very sad thing.
The "closest" star is 4 LYs away. THERE IS NO CHANCE OF HUMANS EVER EXPLORING SPACE. So enjoy the little colored dots....
And Space Food Sticks!
and landing several times on the moon and sending the voyagers and II to the far reaches of space where they are still providing data after 45 years.
Velcro was invented bu a swiss guy trying to untancle burrs from his dog. Made Velcro to match the burrs.
It’s hard to wrap one’s mind around the fact that there is no end to the universe........
