The James Webb Space Telescope, a $10 billion project, has released its first breathtaking image, capturing the oldest documented light in the universe from over 13 billion years ago. This image, unveiled at a White House event, marks a significant achievement in space exploration. The telescope, orbiting the sun 1.5 million miles away, captures images in infrared wavelengths, offering a deeper view into space than the Hubble Telescope. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson highlighted the image's significance, comparing the visible universe in the image to a grain of sand held at arm's length. More images are expected soon, promising further insights into the universe's history.
