Today, NASA released the first deep space photo taken by the Webb telescope in a special preview event. NASA claims that this deep-field image is the "deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date". It also offers a little peek at some objects from the past. Some of these older objects might not exist today, but is still visible due to the time it takes for light to travel across the universe. This happened a day earlier than the date originally announced - July 12th. However, a full set of photos captured by the telescope is set to be released on the 12th. At least four images are expected to be released.

A deep field image is taken when the telescope collects dim light from a tiny section in space, and the result is a sharp image of distant objects in that area of space.
👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B pic.twitter.com/Y7ebmQwT7j

The James Webb Space Telescope was launched on December 25th, 2021. It is currently the most powerful telescope ever to be launched into space. The telescope uses infrared wavelengths to observe the sky. The telescope views the universe up to a few hundred million years after the big bang. The telescope was manufactured by Northrop Grumman, L3Harris, and Ball Aerospace. It was launched on the European Ariane 5 from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, France.
