First colour image from JWST Today at 10pm

It is the single greatest human achievement if I recall. Consider this as a testament to how insanely complex the engineering had to be:

Note the temperature difference from the side that faces the Sun, vs the side that faces space. That's 54 million miles from the Sun for perspective. The main cameras have to be in the cold temps otherwise all they will see is heat artefacts from the components. It has to be that constant temp to function properly, so accounting for that is just insane.

CNN has some coverage on it too:

 
And will NASA be using their gloriously blurry 720p streaming technology to reveal this much anticipated image? It's 2022, I'll never understood why NASA don't even have 1080p, let alone 4k streams.

This is Hubble's Ulra Deep Field image, it contains galaxies going as far back as an estimated 800 million years after the big bang, those are the smaller red ones in view:



It is said that JWST should be able to capture images of galaxies even further, as far as 400 million years after the big bang, maybe even earlier as the optical performance is actually "better than expected" according to JWST engineers.

wwwoaahh! thats looks amazing. After watching The Enternals movie I now know that all those galaxies was created by Arishem !! :cry:
 
Only one of the several photos will be shown at 10pm and announced by Biden, the remaining will be during the NASA livecast tomorrow.
