At 10:30pm (ish) NASA will be releasing the first picture from the James Webb Telescope.

Tomorrow there will be releasing another 4 or 5. I'm looking forward to the deep field one looking at a gravitational lense of a number of galaxies, 13 billion light years away.

Wow, cheers for the link, it's saying it will begin shortly.
 
“This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.”

That’s just so crazy and shows just how insignificant we are.
