780,000 galaxies revealed in JWST's largest science operation
Briefly

The COSMOS-Web program, led by Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe and Dr. Caitlin Casey, stands out as the preeminent General Observer (GO) project for the JWST, receiving significant observing time to analyze the universe. With a team of 50 researchers and almost nine days of observation, the project covers a 0.54 square degree area using advanced imaging techniques. After much anticipation, data from the COSMOS-Web survey is now publicly available, highlighting the capabilities of the JWST and contributing valuable insights into astronomical research.
The COSMOS-Web program, led by Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe and Dr. Caitlin Casey, was the largest GO project selected for JWST, spanning 208.6 hours of observing time.
The COSMOS-Web survey demonstrated the capability of JWST, providing valuable near-infrared and mid-infrared observations across a 0.54 square degree field now accessible to researchers.
