It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: https://t.co/63zxpNDi4I
🎯 Target(s) acquired!
The targets of Webb’s first images have been announced: https://t.co/6BNlHANxTd
✨ SMACS 0723
✨ WASP-96b
✨ Southern Ring Nebula
✨ Stephan’s Quintet
✨ Carina Nebula
Tune in July 12 as we reveal Webb’s first images & #UnfoldTheUniverse.
…And there is our last view of the #JWST (bottom left) after telescope separation — on its way to its final destination: L2, where it will full deploy!
@d_dabed@AlbertEinstein Yes these are related to the PPN formalism. They are (typically) lower-order manifestations related to observable parameters, and are theory-independent. With this system, we have had to actually introduce higher-order terms for orbital precession, for example.
I am truly honoured to have been a part of this 16-year journey. We observed many millions of ticks from this remarkable space-clock, the Double Pulsar; over 100 years since formulating general relativity, @AlbertEinstein can still say, “I told you so!”

NASA's Parker Solar Probe plunged deep into the Sun's corona & passed directly through streamers of solar plasma. The view out the window was...staggering. https://t.co/LLy8fB2dmZ
Our researchers have been part of a 16-year long project to challenge Einstein’s theory of relativity! The team looked to the stars (a pair of extreme stars called pulsars) through 7 telescopes around the world 👉 https://t.co/FyXy2pBogf

Congrats to Prof Catherine for her appointment as @AstroRoyalScot - the fist woman to hold any Astronomer Royal position in the Uk! I was a lowly PhD while she was postdoc, also at @UBC, and I could think of no better fit!
Kudos to @UEA_VC for acknowledging without reservation that systemic racism exists in UK universities and must be dismantled. I am even prouder to be a part of @uniofeastanglia and will do what is needed to achieve equity. https://t.co/8WA95pNkDV
