NASA Releases Stunning Images from James Webb Telescope
After 25 years and over 10 billion US dollars, on Christmas Day 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was finally launched into space by a European Ariane 5 rocket.
With its 6.5-metre primary mirror and its tennis-court-sized sunshield, Webb had to be folded up to fit in the rocket’s fairing, only to be deployed step by step in the first two weeks of its mission.
Now, we're all eagerly awaiting the first proper images of space captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, which are being released today, 12 July.
