I am very excited to be in some of the first few teams to be using JWST and can't wait to see what it tells us about the Universe!
SMACS 0723 was the first JWST image released to the public in July 2022. It was an absolute joy to see these data for the first time, especially for a target that I previously analyzed using HST data. We continue to investigate these amazing data to learn more about the Universe.
