NASA announced the first cosmic images received from the James Webb Telescope

The pictures from James Webb Space Telescope are both exciting and intriguing as more and more things are coming up regarding the mysterious Universe, which keeps expanding and expanding. The US, European and Canadian space agencies have come together and have decided to make the images public. They are gearing up for this outstandingly big reveal on July 12. 

These images are the early observations by the ten billion dollar observatory. Now the James Space Telescope is the successor to the Hubble telescope, and this telescope is set to reveal new insights into the mysterious unknown origins of the Universe.

"I'm looking forward to not having to keep these secrets anymore; that will be a great relief," said an excited Klaus Pontoppidan; he is an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, a.k.a STSI who oversees the Webb Space Telescope. He told AFP last week how excited and relieved he is for revealing the photos to the public. 

However, an international committee has been set up, and the committee members have decided that NASA will reveal the first wave of full-colour scientific images to the globe, including the Carina Nebula. Now Carina Nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas seven thousand six hundred light-years away. The pictures will also include the coloured images of the Southern Ring Nebula, which now surrounds a dying star two thousand light-years away.

Carina Nebula always talks of the space stations known for the towering pillars, including the so-called Mystic Mountain. Now, this Mystic Mountain is a three-light-year-tall cosmic pinnacle captured in an iconic image by the Hubble telescope. So, this mystic mountain is something the world would be awed to see.

Webb Telescope has also carried out spectroscopy, a light analysis that reveals detailed information about a faraway gas giant called WASP-96 b. The spectroscopy discovered WASP-96 b back in 2014. The gas giant is one thousand one hundred and fifty light-years away from Earth. WASP-96 b is estimated to be about half the mass of Jupiter and revolves around its local star in just 3.4 Earth days.
