NASA NASA developed under the leadership of James Webb Space Telescope, with the first color photograph on the agenda.
10 billion dollars James Webb Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope), a cargo rocket signed long ago by the European Space Agency ESA Ariane 5 It was launched into space from the Guyana Space Center based in Kourou, French Guiana. A infrared space telescope with a short name JWSTIt is of great importance that it will shape our perspective on the world of science and the universe. JWST it’s on the agenda again these days because On July 12 comes the first fully color photograph taken with a telescope. It is stated that at this level, human beings will look much further than they have been able to look up to now. JWST, seems to yield an astonishing result. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, over the photograph, which is said to be as scientifically important as visuality, “We are just beginning to understand what Webb is capable of and can do.” made a statement.
The last thing that brought JWST to the agenda was a frightening situation that was reported to have happened in May. A larger-than-expected hit to the important telescope, according to NASA researchers. micro meteorite crashed and left visible damage. Despite the damage to one of these 18 different mirror segments, it was stated that JWST continued to operate without any problems and no problems were expected in the future. According to the researchers, only some fixes will be needed because of this situation and this will not be a big problem.
JWST, the result of 30 years of effort, as a joint project of 15 different states, European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency under the leadership of NASA, is the result of exoplanets up to 5 thousand (exoplanet) on a potential alien life (like a microorganism) can be detected. The first thing that the James Webb Space Telescope will look for is as far as it has been announced. methane gas will be. Because between methane gas and potential living life, ancient living fossils etc. there is an important link.

JWST, according to NASA’s statement He will remain in office longer than expected. behind this Ariane 5 It includes a very precise take-off. It is said that thanks to this precise takeoff, the telescope does not need many positioning firings or maneuvers. Thanks to this James Webb Space Telescope It contains more fuel than the first accounts. Thus, the working life of the JWST is according to scientists. 10 years past.
