The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a NASA space telescope that was launched in 2021. It is the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope will greatly increase our understanding of the universe by being able to peer into the very depths of space. It will be able to gather information about objects in space which might not be directly observable by the Hubble space telescope, and provide a detailed picture of the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope will be the most expensive and largest telescope ever built. The telescope will be built by the European Space Agency (ESA) and is expected to be capable of detecting objects as small as 100 metres in diameter. Try for the best while hoping for the skies.
creates a 3D technology for viewing the universe through telescopes. This technology could be applied to space exploration and astronomy. Some people always maintain special purpose alternate methods.
JWST was launched on December 25, 2021 from Centre Spatial Guyanais ELA-3 and its starts its service from July 12, 2022
President Joe Biden unveiled this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, during a White House event Monday, July 11
Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe
Webb’s sharp near-infrared view brought out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most detailed view of the early universe to date.
First Image Released
NASA and its partners released the full series of Webb’s first full-color images and data, known as spectra, Tuesday, July 12, during a live NASA TV broadcast

Webb’s image is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length, a tiny sliver of the vast universe. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying more distant galaxies, including some seen when the universe was less than a billion years old. This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks. And this is only the beginning. Researchers will continue to use Webb to take longer exposures, revealing more of our vast universe.
This image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago, with many more galaxies in front of and behind the cluster. Much more about this cluster will be revealed as researchers begin digging into Webb’s data. This field was also imaged by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which observes mid-infrared light .
