NASA shares teaser for Webb telescope's first image release

(CNN)Get ready to see some awe-inspiring views of the universe as we've never seen it before.

The James Webb Space Telescope will release its first high-resolution color images on July 12, one of which "is the deepest image of our universe that has ever been taken," according to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

The space observatory, which launched in December, will be able to peer inside the atmospheres of exoplanets and observe some of the first galaxies created after the universe began by viewing them through infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.

Let's just hope we have not either nuked ourselves, diseased ourselves, religious war ourselves, or polluted ourselves to death before we can explore it ! 

First real image, truly astounding.  This 5MB image is zoomable.

But the early universe looks like it has been through a few fender-benders.

It also might help if US and Russian jet pilots stop trying to shoot down UFO'S.

First, find a comfortable planet which humans could colonize when we destroy our own rock.

Then, work out how to move the whole box and dice several million light years away to the new digs.

This looks unreal. Could we be living in a mirrored ball where if the mirrors are placed and angled just right one object look like millions? Just say-n.
