First images from the James Webb Space Telescope

Launched in December 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope is the most powerful telescope ever launched into space. Its greatly improved infrared resolution and sensitivity will allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for Hubble. Join NASA as they release the first full-color images and spectroscopic data during a televised broadcast from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Released one by one, these first images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope will demonstrate Webb at its full power, ready to begin its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
