The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy.As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [9]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an international 21st-century space observatory that was launched on 25 December 2021. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is intended to be the premier observatory of the 2020s, combining the largest mirror yet on a near-infrared space telescope with a suite of technologically advanced instruments from around the world.
On 27 December 2021, at 60 hours after launch, Webb's rockets fired for nine minutes and 27 seconds to make the second of three mid-course corrections for the telescope to arrive at its L 2 destination. [35] On 28 December 2021, three days after launch, mission controllers began the multi-day deployment of Webb's all-important sunshield.
To conduct this study, the team used the telescope’s infrared imaging capabilities, observing Sagittarius A* for 48 hours during the course of a year and tracking the black hole’s changes.
