Why you should care—a lot—about the Webb Telescope images 📝: jeffreykluger
“Every image is a new discovery and each will give humanity a view of the universe that we’ve never seen before,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, in a gathering at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., shortly before the pictures were revealed., above a post of the SMACS 0723 picture.—one of the uncounted millions worldwide who tuned in to follow the release of the images—nailed the sentiment better than the famous Nelson.
Webb has up to 25 years of life left to it before it runs out of maneuvering fuel and, sometime around 2047, is retired. It will return thousands more images in that time, many of which may be even grander than the ones revealed this week. But it is that first tiny handful of pictures—and the new sense they give us of our place in the cosmos—that will have changed us the most.
