The James Webb Space Telescope is one of NASA and the space community in general’s most exciting missions in the past decade, and the enormous observation platform’s first image, of distant galaxies actually behind our neighboring galaxies, was just revealed to the public on a stream hosted by none other than President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“If you held a grain of sand on the tip of your finger at arms length, that is the part of the universe that you’re seeing, just one little speck of the universe,” said NASA administrator Bill Nelson. “And what you’re seeing there are galaxies, you’re seeing galaxies that are shining around other galaxies whose light has been bent.”
