NASA released a spiky image of a faraway star photobombed by thousands of ancient galaxies. These were captured by NASA’s new telescope that gazed into the distant Universe and showed the perfect vision.
The image released on Wednesday by $10 billion James Webb Space which is a successor to the 32-year-old Hubble telescope used as a test shot to check how its 18 hexagonal mirrors worked together for a single coordinated image taken 1 million miles away from Earth and officials confirmed it worked better than they expected.
The shape of Webb’s mirror and its filters made the shimmering star look more red and Spiky.NASA’s test image was aimed at a star 100 times fainter than the human eyes can see which is 2000 light-years away.
JaneRigby, Webb operations Project Scientist said,” You can’t help but see thousands of galaxies behind it, really gorgeous” She added, “Scientists hope Webb will see so far away and back in time that it will only be a couple hundred million years after the Big Bang .”
The first science images won’t come until late June or early July.
