The first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope will be released this week. The telescope had to travel to its position around the sun, deploy its hardware, and align and calibrate its instruments before it was ready to use. The first results from the telescope will be shared on July 12th.
There are contents.
We have information on how to watch the images being released by NASA.
The images will show space objects in amazing detail. NASA recently announced what the objects being imaged were, including a glimpse into the atmosphere of an exoplanet and images of two nebulae.
It is possible to detect different features from instruments that operate in the visible light wavelength like those on Hubble.
