We’re ONE WEEK away from @NASAWebb’s first images! 🥳
Another thing to get excited about: Within Webb’s first year of operations, it will provide infrared-light images of galaxies to help us better understand the life cycles of stars.
Telescopes including Hubble have provided detailed observations of galaxies, like this image of NGC 3351. Webb will identify where stars are forming behind dust and investigate the earliest stages of star formation in this galaxy.
