The long awaited first images of the cosmos, taken by the new space telescope James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will be revealed by NASA today. The agency has chosen the Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation (CSEO) to be among the organisations worldwide to simulcast the first images.
“This is a huge moment for space exploration and for the wider field of astronomical science,” President of CSEO George Danos told CNA.
He added that these first images are expected to provide answers to big existential questions, but also to significantly expand the horizons of discovery and study in the field.
The presentation in Cyprus will take place today at 5.15pm, at CSEO Discovery Alpha in Nicosia, with the support of NASA, ESA and the Municipality of Nicosia. The event is open to the public, who are requested to arrive early as the broadcast will be live. The Cyprus News Agency is the media sponsor of the event.
Regarding NASA’s decision to include CSEO among the official partners of NASA and ESA for this most important event, Danos said that thisconfirms CSEO’s position as a reliable and respected partner.
President of the CSEO Council and former head of ESA exploration missions to the Solar System, Marcelo Corradini, said that the trust shown by these major organisations for this event proves that CSEO’s activities are globally recognised and respected.
“Cyprus may be small in size but its potential in space exploration is immense,” he underlined.
Those who want to enjoy these impressive images on an even bigger screen, they will be screened in K-Cineplex theaters in all cities, before selected films. Dates and movies will be announced on the social media of both K-Cineplex and CSEO.
Referring to this cooperation, Colm Larkin, Director of the CSEO Discovery Alpha, said that this will enable the public to see those very important images on the big screen and in high definition.
