Only one more instrument left!
The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec instrument was used to study a region close to the center of our Milky Way galaxy. A test of the telescope's multi-object spectroscopy mode packed more than 200 spectra in a single exposure. Each horizontal stripe represents a spectrum that scientists will be able to analyze to better understand the composition and properties of the gas found between the stars in this region.
"We made it: NIRSpec is ready for science! This is an amazing moment, the result of the hard work of so many JWST and NIRSpec people and teams over more than two decades," Pierre Ferruit, Webb project scientist with the European Space Agency and principal investigator for NIRSpec, said in the statement."I am eager to see the first scientific results coming from NIRSpec observations. I have no doubt they will be fantastic.
