The photos that will be released were chosen for their spectacular color imagery, NASA said
Wednesday, as well as to demonstrate the breadth of science that the JWST is supporting.
"We're only beginning to understand what Webb can and will do," Nelson said. "It's going to explore objects in the solar system and atmospheres of exoplanets orbiting other stars -- giving us clues as to whether their atmospheres are similar to our own. It may answer some questions that we have. Where do we come from? What more is out there? Who are we?"
Each image released next month will reveal different aspects of the infrared universe in unprecedented detail and sensitivity, scientists said Wednesday during a news conference.
Along with the deepest infrared view of the cosmos to date, the images also will show how galaxies interact and grow. Webb can reveal, for example, how cataclysmic collisions drive the process of star formation, with new, young stars emerging from their natal cloud of gas and dust. The telescope's images could also show dying stars seeding the galaxy with new elements and new dust that may one day become part of new planetary systems.
The images released on July 12 also will include the first spectrum of an exoplanet. NASA has confirmed the existence of more than 5,000 planets beyond our solar system, and looking at the vibrational spectrum of one could help us understand what molecules exist in its atmosphere -- and whether the exoplanet could potentially support life.

Of course Nikola, You are right about the monochrome images, but I suspect that Nasa will come out with some sort of false coloring, just to appeal the wide public and increase the WOW factor...
