NASA shared an image showing a distant star backed by galaxies, saying the James Webb telescope is performing as well as if not better than their most optimistic prediction
The singular image marks another milestone in a complex mission that NASA hopes will herald a new era of astronomical observations
The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, just launched. Scientists say its technology makes it 100 times more powerful than the Hubble and could give it the ability to see back to the first galaxies in the universe.
The photo, which shows a distant star backed by galaxies, is evidence that the 21.5-foot primary mirror of theTo Read the Full Story
