The European Space Agency (ESA) released the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first images and infrared spectrum of Mars.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first images and spectrum data of Mars.
Webb is situated approximately 1.5 million kilometres away from our planet at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2). From the telescope’s vantage point, it gets a view of Mars’ observable disk, which is the portion of the sunlit side facing the telescope.
While this may not sound impressive for a telescope that is designed to detect distant faint objects, it actually is.
