The President of the United States, Joe Biden, will make public this evening at 23:00 Spanish time, the first image of deep space from NASA’s new James Webb Super Space Telescope.
The image will be a preview of the complete list of photos that PAN will do tomorrow.
With Biden’s announcement with the first photo of James Webb, expectations couldn’t be higher.
The presentation can be watched live on NASA TV.
Biden’s Importance to James Webb
Joe Biden is unlikely to reach Kennedy’s glory with his famous speech “We chose to go to the moon”, but he will try to make the first photo of Webb, the super-telescope that is seeing the deepest part of the universe, go down in history.
The popularity of space research is low in the US, and many question whether paying $10 billion for a telescope like James Webb is justified today. However, Joe Biden will help give top-tier astrophysicists a boost. We await your stellar appearance in front of NASA cameras.

“Congratulations @NASA And to everyone who made today’s launch of the James Webb Telescope possible. Webb is a shining example of the power of what we can achieve when we dream big. We always knew this project would be a risky undertaking, but with great risk comes great rewards.
