    NASA releases first ever ‘deepest’ image of the distant universe

    The first image from NASA’s new space telescope, which provides the most in-depth view of the universe ever taken, has been made public. It was unveiled during a White House event by United States (US) President Joe Biden.

    The James Webb Space Telescope, the most potent observatory ever launched into space, presented its first image on Monday. It provides the most in-depth view of the ‘distant universe’ ever taken. This image is among the telescope’s first-full color images

    The image shows stars, with massive galaxies in the foreground and faint and extremely distant galaxies peeking through here and there.

    “The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’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,” said NASA.
