First Images From James Webb Telescope

Expected today are the first live pictures from the $10 billion James Webb telescope which was launched on Christmas Day 2021.

The photograph is the first publicly released science-quality image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, revealed on 11th July, 2022, is the deepest infrared view of the universe to date. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI).

When compared side-by-side to the same area that was imaged by Hubble – people are astounded just how much more detail Webb’s camera is capable of capturing.

Due at 15.30hrs GMT – you can follow NASA‘s live stream HERE.
Alternatively, you can watch it on YouTube HERE.

The first successful flyby of Mars was on 14th–15th July 1965, by NASA’s Mariner 4.
On November 14th, 1971, Mariner 9 became the first space probe to orbit another planet when it entered into orbit around Mars.
The Soviet probes Phobos 1 and 2 were sent to Mars in 1988 to study Mars and its two moons, with a focus on Phobos.#Broadwindsor,#Burstock,#Blackdown,#Drimpton,#Hursey,#Kittwhistle,#Seaborough,#Dorset,#WestDorset,#2021,#NationalLockdown,#NASA,#PerseveranceRover,#WatchLive,#Space,#Mars,#Wow,#BeSafe,#StaySafe
