NASA NASA developed under the leadership James Webb Space Telescope continues to generate excitement.
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, as it is now clearer multiple color photos will take off.
For example, in one of the photos 7,600 light years away from the largest and brightest nebulae (Nebula structure consisting of cosmic dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases spread over vast areas.) Carina Nebula will appear. According to the statement, the Carina Nebula has some stars much larger than the Sun. At the same time JWST 2,000 light-years away From the Southern Ring Nebula Color photos will also be shared. Moreover JWST at a distance of 1,150 light-years from WASP-96b‘s light spectrum data will also be transferred. In addition to all that, it is 290 million light years away. Stephen’s Quintet and SMACS 0723 centered images will also be displayed.
It was a frightening situation that was reported to have happened in May, which brought the JWST to the agenda before these. 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, 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 take-off, the telescope does not need many positioning firings or maneuvers. 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.
