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 Southern Ring Nebula was selected as one of the five cosmic objects observed by the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the release of its first official science images on July 12, 2022. [ 4 ] Two images of NGC 3132 in near- and mid-infrared light.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope operated by NASA and designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy.Launched in December 2021, the spacecraft has been in a halo orbit around the second Sun–Earth Lagrange point (L 2), about 1.5 million kilometers (900,000 mi) from Earth, since January 2022.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spied dynamic flares of light near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The constant, rapid-fire display ...
Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope imaged sections of the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy, a region called the Extreme Outer Galaxy. As shown here, the telescope observed newly formed stars and ...
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 ...
English: What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.
