The first full-color images and first spectrum from the new telescope will be released on July 12. NASA gave all of us who are anticipating these images a list of the targets we will be seeing next week.
According to NASA, the targets represent the first wave of full-color scientific images and spectrum the observatory has gathered.
An international committee made up of members from the international partnership behind the telescope chose the targets.
Get ready to see a stellar nursery, an exoplanet, a planetary nebula, and a galaxy.
There is a nova. The Carina Nebula is located in the southern constellation Carina, and it is one of the largest and most bright nebulaes in the sky. Stars are formed in stellar nurseries. Many massive stars are found in the Carina Nebula, which is larger than the Sun. The image above is from the Hubble Space Telescope.
WasP-96 b is aspectrum. The giant planet WASP-96 b is made of gas. The planet is approximately 1,150 light-years away from Earth. It is half the mass of Jupiter and was discovered in 2004.
The Southern Ring Nebula is located in the southern part of the world. A planetary nebula is a cloud of gas around a dying star. It is less than half a light-year in diameter and is far away from Earth.
Stephan's Quintet is located in the constellation. The first compact galaxy group was found in 1877. There are four of the five galaxies locked in a dance. Chandra and the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope provided an image of Stephen's quintet.
SMACS-0723 allows a deep field view into both the extremely distant and faint galaxy populations.
The images and data will be made public on July 12th. You can watch them on NASA TV or on the website. The images will be made available on NASA's social media account.
