Let’s do some science. 😎
With all of Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument modes checked off, all 4 of Webb’s science instruments are now 100% set to #UnfoldTheUniverse. Read more about this milestone at the link in our bio!
"NIRCam has performed flawlessly. Observers are going to be very pleased with the data they receive, and I am extremely happy with how 20 years of work by my team are now realized in amazing performance,” said Marcia Rieke, principal investigator for the NIRCam instrument and regents professor of astronomy at @UArizona.
👉 Want a sneak peek of what’s to come? @POTUS previews one of our first full-color images TODAY, 5 pm ET (21 UTC). Watch our live broadcast tomorrow at 10:30 am ET (14:30 UTC) for the rest! Links to each event will be on our Instagram Story.

ALT TEXT: This image shows several technicians in contamination-controlled suits standing around the James Webb Space Telescope's Integrated Science Instrument Module. The module houses Webb's science instruments and resembles a box-like structure with a black, metallic frame. Inside the frame, some of the instruments are visible, wrapped in a material similar to foil. Here, the Near-Infrared Camera was just installed, joining two of the other instruments. The Near-Infrared Spectrograph was set to be next.
