The James Webb Space Telescope has taken the most detailed infrared picture of the universe ever recorded by NASA. The plate displays amazing detail of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723. 



First-ever recordings of thousands of galaxies, including the weakest infrared signals yet detected, have been made. This photograph depicts a portion of the cosmos roughly the size of a sand particle held at arm's length. Webb's camera (NIRCam) obtained the picture in 12.5 hours. It is a composite of photographs captured at various wavelengths. The James Webb telescope can see farther and take photos quicker than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, thanks to innovative technology. It might take weeks to take a photograph.

Biden's presentation is a preview of the telescope's great cosmic extravaganza scheduled for Tuesday morning. Then, scientists will disclose what the Webb has been seeing for the last six months.
