Today, NASA released a list of celestial targets<\/a> that will be revealed next week when the agency publishes the first full-color images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST. The targets include galaxies, nebulas, and a giant planet outside our Solar System.<\/p>\n

JWST is NASA\u2019s massive new deep-space observatory, which launched on Christmas Day in 2021<\/a>. Sporting a large gold-coated mirror spanning more than 21 feet across, the observatory is set to transform the field of astrophysics by collecting light from the first stars and galaxies that formed right after the Big Bang<\/a>. It\u2019s also designed to study objects throughout our Universe in unprecedented detail, giving us insight into our distant Solar System, planets outside our cosmic neighborhood, asteroids, exotic stars in the deepest reaches of space, and more.<\/p>\n

To get its very first images, JWST observed these target objects and regions of space for 120 hours, collecting five days\u2019 worth of data. Up until now, we didn\u2019t know much about what the first images of JWST would be, though we got some hints from NASA leadership. Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA\u2019s associate administrator for science, revealed that we\u2019d see the light from the atmosphere of a planet outside our Solar System, known as an exoplanet. And NASA administrator Bill Nelson said that one image is the \u201cdeepest image of our Universe that has ever been taken.\u201d<\/p>\n
