The James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership between NASA, ESA and CSA, will release its first color images and spectroscopic data on July 12, 2022.
As the largest and most complex observatory ever launched into space, Webb has undergone a six-month preparation period before it can begin its scientific work, calibrating its instruments to the space environment and aligning its mirrors.
Nasa seems to have a lot planned for the upcoming first image. “Now that we’re nearing the end of preparation and the beginning of science, we’re facing an incredibly exciting discovery phase,” said Eric Smith, a scientist on the James Webb team at Nasa headquarters in Washington. “The release of Webb’s first full-color images will give us views never before seen.”
