US President Joe Biden will be the one to show the first full-color image that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured in space. The international space agency said that the most awaited subject will be unveiled on Monday, July 11.
The event will take place at 5 PM ET. NASA will stream the White House event via NASA TV. At the same time, you can also check the photo on the official website of the space agency.
Biden to Present a Full-Color Image From JWST
According to a report by Engadget earlier this week, only a few NASA administrators and scientists have seen the beautiful images captured from the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope.
The highest US leader will show the first full-color photo to date.
NASA mentioned last week that the subjects which are included in the images are the Southern Ring and Carian Nebulae. The photo, which is dubbed "Webb's First Deep Field," will showcase a high-quality glimpse of the vast universe.
It should be noted that what you will see here are specks of galaxies that were formed 13 billion years ago, NASA said.
The space agency confirmed that it will unveil another batch of full-color images from the huge space observatory on Tuesday, July 22.
However, Biden, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, will be able to witness the high-resolution photo in advance before showing it to the public.
The revelation will take place in the White House at around 5 PM ET on July 11. Before the presentation, the NASA officials said that they would brief Biden and Harris first regarding it.

NASA Will Reveal More JWST Images Soon
The usual telescopes that we know are only small in size, but as we dive deeper into space explorations, there are gigantic telescopes that are truly existing.
For instance, the James Webb Space Telescope, which costs $10 billion, is regarded to be the "most powerful space telescope" in existence. It's not only the most equipped observatory for space viewing, but it's also the largest so far.
After Biden unveiled the first full-color JWST image, NASA said that it would drop more photos on the following day at around 10:30 AM ET, per NBC News.
The space agency added that they will reveal the exoplanet's first spectrum on that day. In this particular subject, we will see various wavelengths of light in the universe.
The astronomical breakthrough of NASA with the James Webb Space Telescope can spark more curiosity when it comes to an understanding of the ambiguous cosmos. This would also help the scientists research the composition of the exoplanets.
For the Tuesday event, July 12, the public will witness the behavior of the galaxy and how a star thrives throughout its days. You can also see how this glittering cosmic body develops and how it naturally dies in the empty space.
The James Webb Space Telescope is so huge that it exceeds the size of a tennis court. It is expected that it will be released on Christmas eve.
