On top of all sophistication, NASA announced the first full color images from the telescope on July 12. He said it will be published in . The US agency made a statement on the subject. “This rigorous process, combined with years of technological advancement and mission planning, has resulted in the first images and data.”
According to the agency, the first images will undoubtedly reflect the mission’s inspiration and the origin of the universe. It will also cover themes involving the life cycle of stars and analyzing other planets. However, scientists also believe that these images will help to see the evolution of galaxies over time.
After passing the final test, the telescope will begin its first scientific imaging and observation. The team will then work on a list of priority objectives. Finally, the production team will process the images with astronomers.
James Webb ranks as one of the most costly scientific telescopes ever made. The telescope is expected to cost NASA about $10 billion.
