James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a collaborative project between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Its primary objective is to study the universe's earliest light and explore celestial bodies in great detail. The telescope operates from Lagrange Point 2 (L2), approximately one million miles from Earth, providing an unobstructed view of the cosmos. It features a large, segmented primary mirror that allows for unprecedented light-gathering ability, enabling it to detect light wavelengths from visible red to mid-infrared. The JWST has provided groundbreaking insights into various astronomical phenomena such as the Pillars of Creation, supernovae, exoplanets, and distant galaxies. Despite its high cost and initial technical issues, the telescope has been hailed as a significant advancement in space exploration.

    Mystery of Puffy Exoplanet WASP-107b Solved: New Discoveries from JWST and Hubble Reveal Hotter Interior and More Massive Core

    Broke On: Tuesday, 21 May 2024 Scientists, using data from NASA's JWST and Hubble Space Telescope, reveal new insights into the puffy nature of exoplanet WASP-107b. The discovery of a scarcity of methane in its atmosphere indicates a hotter interior and more massive core. Advanced spectroscopic techniques detect carbon-, oxygen-, nitrogen- and sulfur-bearing molecules for the first time in a transiting exoplanet, shedding light on its composition. The high temperature is attributed to tidal heating from its slightly elliptical orbit around its host star.

  • James Webb Space Telescope Captures Detailed Images of Crab Nebula

    Broke On: Monday, 30 October 2023 The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first detailed images of the Crab Nebula. The images reveal unprecedented details of the nebula's complex structure, including its pulsar and surrounding torus of material. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion that was observed on Earth in 1054 AD. The nebula's pulsar, a highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron star, emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The JWST's advanced infrared capabilities are expected to provide new insights into the nature of the nebula and its pulsar.
