Discoveries in the universe await astronomers, NASA scientists in 2023
NASA will end 2022 with several back-to-back achievements for the history books, from breathtaking images taken by the James Webb telescope to further demonstrations of flight on Mars with the Ingenuity helicopter. | This year also marked the launch and return of the unmanned Artemis I mission, with later flights planned to take humans back to the moon by 2025. The James Webb Space Telescope, which provided humanity with a glimpse at distant galaxies in stunning images released in this year, will continue to serve as a trove of scientific knowledge in the upcoming year, space agency officials said. Many developments in 2023 will come in the form of the release of research and images from the telescope, which still is in the first year of operation.
