This image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm\u2019s length. It\u2019s just a tiny sliver of the vast universe,&#8221; said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis mission was made possible by human ingenuity \u2013 the incredible NASA Webb team and our international partners at the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Webb is just the start of what we can accomplish in the future when we work together for the benefit of humanity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScientists are thrilled that Webb is alive and as powerful as we hoped, far beyond Hubble, and that it survived all hazards to be our golden eye in the sky,\u201d said John Mather, Webb senior project scientist at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. \u201cWhat happened after the big bang? How did the expanding universe cool down and make black holes and galaxies and stars and planets and people? Astronomers see everything twice: first with pictures, and then with imagination and calculation. But there\u2019s something out there that we\u2019ve never imagined, and I will be as amazed as you are when we find it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The James Webb Space Telescope is the world&#8217;s premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries in our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webb launched on Dec. 25, 2021, on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe\u2019s Spaceport in French Guiana, South America. After completing a complex deployment sequence in space, Webb underwent months of commissioning where its mirrors were aligned, and its instruments were prepared for science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Joe Biden released the first full-color image from NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope Monday, during a public event at the White House in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo","category-space-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-200x200.png",200,200,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-533x400.png",533,400,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-675x507.png",675,507,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"ultp_layout_landscape_large":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"ultp_layout_landscape":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",686,515,false],"ultp_layout_portrait":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",600,450,false],"ultp_layout_square":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",600,450,false],"newspaper-x-single-post":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-686x490.png",686,490,true],"newspaper-x-recent-post-big":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-550x360.png",550,360,true],"newspaper-x-recent-post-list-image":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope-95x65.png",95,65,true],"web-stories-poster-portrait":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",640,480,false],"web-stories-publisher-logo":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",96,72,false],"web-stories-thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/color-image-of-nasa-james-space-telescope.png",150,113,false]},"author_info":{"info":["RevoScience"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/category\/feature\/photo\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Photo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/category\/news\/space-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Space\/ AstroPhysics<\/a>","tag_info":"Space\/ AstroPhysics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.revoscience.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
