PARIS: James Webb Space Telescope illuminated 2022 with stunning photographs of the early universe, ushering in a new era of astronomy and paving the way for future years of amazing discoveries about the cosmos.
The Hubble telescope, which is still in use, was replaced by the most potent observatory launched into orbit, and it started relaying its first cosmic photographs in July.
Telescope Operations
According to Massimo Stiavelli, director of the Webb mission office at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, “Webb telescope essentially behaves better than expected in practically every area.”
The Webb telescope, which is currently orbiting the sun at a distance of one million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth, is already expected to survive 20 years, which is twice its expected lifespan.
“The optics are clearer and more steady, and the instruments are more effective. We consume less fuel and have more fuel available “Stiavelli added.
Significance of Telescope
“Our demand for pointing accuracy was comparable to that of Hubble. And we were seven times better as a result “the head of the mission office added. The coloration of the telescope’s photos has whetted the public’s desire for the discovery.
The most distant galaxies’ light has been extended from the visible spectrum, which is detectable to the unaided eye, to the infrared, which Webb is able to observe with unparalleled clarity.
