The title says it all. I'd like anyone who wants to post and discuss space news here.
To begin with...
1. JWST first images will not look the way we expect them to
As the setting up of 18 golden segments has already begun, there is a question: what first images are going to look like?
2. The most eye-catching pictures of the week
3. Physicists have claimed the possible existence of a multiverse
Physicists from France and Switzerland have explained the inconsistencies in the standard model of physics with the existence of the multiverse.
The standard model of physics does not explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. Moreover, the mass of the Higgs boson predicted by this model is at least three times greater than that obtained in the experiments of scientists.
Physicists Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo of the French University of Paris-Saclay and Daniele Terezi of CERN explained the second inconsistency with the existence of a multiverse.
Scientists have suggested that during the formation of the Universe, there were many other parallel universes. The distribution of Higgs bosons between different universes and their regions was not uniform: some regions contained heavy bosons, while others contained lighter ones.
The researchers saw that as they evolved, the multiverses that contained the heavy Higgs boson quickly became unstable and collapsed in a short amount of time — about 10^−5 seconds. That is, under the influence of dark energy, the expansion of the Universe was replaced by a sharp contraction, and it “collapsed”.
Thus, according to scientists' research, there is only one universe containing a very light Higgs boson left.

There was nothing said about the publishing of first "ugly" images. But it's expected that on ~Day 120 of the mission (April 24) the telescope is going to see more precisely, because tha alignment will be completed.
