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 most powerful telescope to go into space was successfully launched on Christmas Day. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was on an Ariane 5 rocket when it left the Kourou spaceport in French ...
The NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) is one of the four scientific instruments flown on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). [2] The JWST is the follow-on mission to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and is developed to receive more information about the origins of the universe by observing infrared light from the first stars and galaxies.
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), science operations and mission operations center for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and science operations center for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. [1]
NASA announced in 2002 that it would name its Next Generation Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope. More information about James Webb. More ...
Nasa has released a stunning 'teaser' image from the James Webb Space Telescope ahead of next week's wider release.
NASA compares the required accuracy by analogy: "If the Webb primary mirror were the size of the United States, each [mirror] segment would be the size of Texas, and the team would need to line the height of those Texas-sized segments up with each other to an accuracy of about 1.5 inches".
