International collaboration gave us the most powerful space telescope ever made, and the deepest infrared views of the universe ever seen. With our partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/esa\">@ESA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/csa_asc\">@CSA_ASC<\/a>, the science can begin\u2026\u201d The image comes from the James Webb Space Telescope, a $10 billion telescope made possible through a partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\">NASA<\/a>, The European Space Agency (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/\">ESA<\/a>), and The Canadian Space Agency (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asc-csa.gc.ca\/eng\/\">CSA<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The new telescope reaches further into space than humanity has ever seen before. It is set to replace the aging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/content\/about-the-hubble-story\">Hubble Space Telescope<\/a>. Named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, the Hubble Telescope was the biggest and most versatile telescope to be launched into space in 1990, allowing scientists to see space without the interference of the earth\u2019s atmosphere. The James Webb Space Telescope will look even further out. The five images that were released, with more to come, show galaxies and stars never before seen by the human eye, reminding humanity just how wide and big the universe really is. <em>\u201c<\/em><em>Today, we present humanity with a groundbreaking new view of the cosmos from the James Webb Space Telescope \u2013 a view the world has never seen before,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson at the unveiling of the images<em>.\u00a0\u201cThese images, including the deepest infrared view of our universe that has ever been taken, show us how Webb will help to uncover the answers to questions we don\u2019t even yet know to ask; questions that will help us better understand our universe and humanity\u2019s place within it.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This latest scientific breakthrough is a continuation of humanity\u2019s infatuation with the stars. Continuing from Psalm 19, verses 2 and 3 say, \u201cDay unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.\u201d Romans 1:20 expands upon this idea of creation speaking of the existence of God, saying, \u201cFor the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead\u2026\u201d Mr. Nelson\u2019s words on humanity\u2019s place in the universe echo the words of Psalm 8:3-4, \u201cWhen I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him?\u201d With these latest images of a vast and beautiful universe, to know there is a God that cares for such a seemingly insignificant planet as Earth in the midst of all this wonder is truly humbling indeed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork,\u201d says Psalm 19:1.
