Zermelo Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 11 hours ago, Gfamily said: They've just announced that Joe Biden will be unveiling one of the images this evening at 10pm BST. It'll be on NASA TV channel and loads of other places as well I'm sure. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-updates-coverage-for-webb-telescope-s-first-images-reveal Edit to change time to 10pm BST I see this is now listed as 5.30pm EST, so just enough time to watch the Sky at Night first. Does anyone have a link to the actual channel for the announcement? I have had trouble in the past finding NASA live announcements in among all the other NASA stuff.

gilesco Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I guess we're waiting to see the most expensive astro-photo ever seen, or even possibly the most expensive photo ever seen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ags Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I am betting they pointed it at something photogenic and not something tiny and extremely far away. Or it could be a picture of The. First. Star. Ever. Edited July 11, 2022 by Ags 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
