First Image of James Webb Telescope: NASA has released the next wave of images from James Webb Space Telescope, revealing depths of unseen universe that have paved the way for a new era of astronomy.
The new images from the James Webb Space reveal details about a "stellar nursery", atmosphere of a faraway gas planet, a "quintet" of galaxies locked in a dance of close encounters and a cloud of gas around a dying star.
According to senior project scientist of James Webb project, John Mather, the new discoveries are beautiful and they're full of wonderful discoveries and science, and lots of things we haven't identified are in there.

US President unveiled first image from James Webb Space
US President Joe Biden revealed one of the first images of the early universe taken from the James Webb Space Telescope at a preview event at the White House on July 12, 2022. The first-full set of colour images and data from the James Webb Telescope will be revealed later today by NASA.
The James Webb Space Telescope first image is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the universe till date going back 13 billion years. It contains the light from galaxies that has taken many billions of years to reach us.
The first image of James Webb Telescope, known as Webb's First Deep Field, is of a galaxy cluster named SMACS 0723. It is overflowing with detail, as it revealed thousands of galaxies, including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared.

James Webb Space Telescope First Image: 7 Things to Know
1. The James Webb Space telescope first photo covers a patch of sky that is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
2. The first image has been taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which has brought distant galaxies into sharp focus. It is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours.
3. The first images from the James Webb Space Telescope achieves depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
4. The first image shows galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago.
5. The galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it.
6. The distant galaxies have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features.
7. The James Webb Image is one of the telescope’s first-full color images.

First Images of James Webb Telescope
NASA will one by one release the first images of the universe by James Webb Telescope, the world's largest and most power space telescope ever launched. The telescope will unfold its findings for the first time today. The images will be added to NASA's official website.

James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Telescope has been developed by NASA in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched on December 25, 2021 beginning a one-million-mile journey to see 13.5 billion years into the past.
