詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜，美国宇航局的100亿美元开创性天文台于12月推出它试图发现宇宙中最远的角落，但人类尚不清楚，它的第一张图像落在了地球上。
星期一下午5点ET，，从白宫住，拜登总统将透露第一张全彩照片。根据美国宇航局的说法，这将被称为“韦伯的第一个深领域”，它将是迄今为止宇宙的最高分辨率红外视图。
On Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. ET, NASA will release the rest of the telescope’s first batch of images, which will shed light on the cosmic minutiae behind the life of a star, from its origin as a heavy gas cloud to its violent stellar death, as well as the secrets of distant exoplanets and clusters of faraway galaxies—offering insight, even, into whether their atmospheres might be ripe for extraterrestrial life.
这些图像是制造中二十年来项目的果实。As NASA’s most powerful observatory—100 times more so than Hubble—the James Webb telescope is a feat of engineering that boasts the largest mirror ever sent into space, spanning 21 feet of hexagon-shaped gold-plated beryllium, which can cut through cosmic dust to capture infrared light traveling across the universe from its deepest reaches imaginable. It is said to be able to detect light emitted by the very first stars and galaxies created after the Big Bang, thus peering through a window into the earliest days of a baby universe. According to NASA, “Webb’s First Deep Field” will show galaxies as they existed up to 13 billion years ago.
为了庆祝詹姆斯·韦伯望远镜的作品，美国宇航局在周二的活动时间表挤满了YouTube和NASA的网站，应用程序和社交渠道（包括Facebook，，，，推特， 和抽搐）。从美国东部时间上午9:45开始，该机构和望远镜团队将发表开幕词，然后在上午10:30发行图像，并于下午12:30在Goddard Space Flight Center举行媒体会议。
