Here's a start to what should be a multitude of breath-taking images!

It's still getting ready to operate at this point, wait a couple more months.

I've been excited about JWST for so long! I was really starting to believe it wouldn't ever happen. I hope they do a deep field image like the famous one Hubble did. That is the greatest picture ever taken imo.

The JWST is now fully aligned, and high-resolution images are expected to start coming in June or July. Here's some quotes from the latest update:

> Alignment of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is now complete. After full review, the observatory has been confirmed to be capable of capturing crisp, well-focused images with each of its four powerful onboard science instruments. Upon completing the seventh and final stage of telescope alignment, the team held a set of key decision meetings and unanimously agreed that Webb is ready to move forward into its next and final series of preparations, known as science instrument commissioning. This process will take about two months before scientific operations begin in the summer.

> The optical performance of the telescope continues to be better than the engineering team’s most optimistic predictions. The image quality delivered to all instruments is “diffraction-limited,” meaning that the fineness of detail that can be seen is as good as physically possible given the size of the telescope. From this point forward the only changes to the mirrors will be very small, periodic adjustments to the primary mirror segments.

> The alignment of the telescope across all of Webb’s instruments can be seen in a series of images that captures the observatory’s full field of view. For this test, Webb pointed at part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, providing a dense field of hundreds of thousands of stars across all the observatory’s sensors. The sizes and positions of the images shown here depict the relative arrangement of each of Webb’s instruments in the telescope’s focal plane, each pointing at a slightly offset part of the sky relative to one another.

But, you can see what JWST sees on the infrared spectrum, thanks to the hard work of the ESA, CSA, and, NASA.

I can see the arms of spiral galaxies, along with a multitude of other heat sources. These could be stars, planets, irregular galaxies, black holes, and a multitude of other celestial bodies. I'm sorry if the importance of this project is lost on you, but we have Minichaners who understand the implications of what this research could uncover, including our youngest known user. Thank. Tnx.

Well, that isn't wrong, but thanks to science we can also see it. Thanks to science we basically have a giant put viper head, orbiting over 1,000,000 miles from Earth, and we are lucky enough to see what it sees.

The test images have been dots, yes. But soon it'll be giving us really pretty images of galaxies and nebulae and stuff, so maybe you'll find that more worthy of your tax money.

It's fucking pointless. This is the same retarded fuzzy pictures of blurry shit we got with Hubble. It's all the same. "oooh these stars are 15 billion miles away" no one fucking cares.

I would have been happier if they just set the $10 billion on fire in the parking lot.

The current lack of results is due to the fact it hasn't happened yet. It will happen within 2-3 months. That's just how time works. It's already taken several months for the telescope to even get to the place it needed to be and for the instruments to be fully deployed and aligned. Would you have said "but there's no results!" in November when the telescope wasn't even launched yet?

The "results" will be the same gay fuzzy pictures of stars we had with Hubble, just further away ones. Get a coffee table book of space pictures from the mid-90s and cross out "Hubble" and write in "JWST" and there's your results. Literally no one can tell the difference.

Hubble on the left, JWST on the right. JWST doesn't just have better resolution, it sees in infrared light, whereas Hubble sees in visible light. This means JWST can see through clouds of gas and dust much more easily than Hubble, revealing far more information.
