The first full-color image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope—the most powerful telescope ever—was unveiled on Monday by President Biden during a livestream, and it's incredible.
The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is a technological innovation decades in the making that will allow humanity to look deeper into the early universe than ever before. It is 100 times more powerful than Hubble, and is expected to yield countless new insights about the universe we inhabit, its origins, and whether we are alone. Understandably, images from the telescope have been highly anticipated by scientists and the public, and the reveal was certainly slow-rolled. The stream was scheduled for 5 p.m., rescheduled to 5:30, and then didn’t start until after 6 p.m. The wait was so unbearable that NASA’s hold music became a meme. Thankfully, JWST’s first taste did not disappoint.
