NASA, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), is set to unveil the first full-color images and spectroscopic data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. This monumental event will be broadcast live from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, starting at 10:30 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 12. These images mark the beginning of Webb’s mission to explore the infrared universe, showcasing the telescope’s remarkable capabilities.
The release of these images will be a significant milestone as each picture will showcase the power and potential of the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most sophisticated space science telescope ever constructed. The unveiling will not only take place during the live broadcast but will also be shared simultaneously on social media platforms and NASA’s official website.
Leading up to the image release, NASA will reveal the cosmic targets selected for Webb’s first images and spectra. President Joe Biden will also participate in this momentous occasion by unveiling one of the telescope’s initial images in a preview event at the White House on July 11. The live stream of this event will be available on NASA TV and NASA’s website.
On July 12, the day of the image release, a series of activities are scheduled, including opening remarks by agency and Webb leadership, live coverage of the image release broadcast on various platforms, and a joint media briefing featuring key figures from the Webb mission. The briefing will provide insights into the significance of the images and the scientific implications of Webb’s observations.
Following the live broadcast, NASA will offer interview opportunities with Webb mission experts to discuss the images and data captured by the telescope. These interviews will be conducted in both English and Spanish, reflecting the international collaboration that has made Webb’s mission possible.
Additionally, NASA will host a social media event in Spanish and a NASA Science Live show where Webb experts will engage with the audience, answering questions and providing in-depth explanations about the first images and data obtained by the telescope.
Throughout this momentous occasion, NASA will provide various opportunities for the public to engage with the Webb mission, including virtual and in-person events, social media interactions, and behind-the-scenes access to the groundbreaking work being done by the telescope.
Webb, a collaborative effort between NASA, ESA, and CSA, was launched on December 25 and has since unfolded into its final form in space. Now positioned 1 million miles from Earth, the telescope is gearing up for its scientific operations, which will delve into the mysteries of the cosmos, from our solar system to the farthest reaches of the universe.
As the world eagerly awaits the unveiling of Webb’s first images, the mission invites everyone to join the conversation, share the excitement, and witness the unfolding of the universe through the lens of this groundbreaking space telescope.
