  1. Preparing for Panoramic Views

    2022 ANNUAL REPORT ARTICLE

    STScI ramps up community engagement with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and continues to make progress building software for the mission.

    18 boxes, broken into six columns of three, which represent Roman’s field of view, are overlaid on a field of galaxies. The two outermost columns are closer to the bottom of the image than the middle two columns, which are slightly lower than the center two columns. Below the centermost columns is a label that says, “Roman field of view.”

    2022 ANNUAL REPORT ARTICLE

    A behind-the-scenes account of the James Webb Space Telescope’s first year.

    Thousands of small galaxies appear across this view of SMACS 0723 from the James Webb Space Telescope. Their colors vary. Some are shades of orange, while others are white. Most appear as fuzzy ovals, but a few have distinct spiral arms. In front of the galaxies are several foreground stars. Most appear blue, and the bright stars have diffraction spikes, forming an eight-pointed star shape. There are also many thin, long, orange arcs that curve around the center of the image.
