COSMOS-Webb is slated to be the largest program in JWST’s first year of operation
A. Sue Weisler RIT Assistant Professor Jeyhan Kartaltepe is the principal investigator of COSMOS-Webb, the largest General Observer program selected for James Webb Space Telescope’s first year.
When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) the long-awaited successor to the Hubble Space Telescope becomes operational in 2022, one of its first orders of business will be mapping the earliest structures of the universe. A team of nearly 50 researchers led by scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology and University of Texas at Austin will attempt to do so through the COSMOS-Webb program, the largest General Observer program selected for JWST’s first year.

The focus of this new image share from NASA â a photo captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2012 â is Hercules A.
The distant galaxy, also known as 3C 348, is the bright spot right in the middle of the below image. Those long, gorgeous trails of red are plasma jets that span roughly 1.5 million light-years of distance. It s because of the massive black hole that sits at the center of 3C 348.

It s an elliptical galaxy that s roughly 1,000 times larger than our own Milky Way. Same goes for the black hole the galaxy formed around; it s also about 1,000 times larger than the one at the center of our Milky Way, at around 2.5 billion solar mass. (Many galaxies are believed to have formed around supermassive black holes.)

Human settlement of the Moon and Mars will require overcoming numerous challenges, including generating the energy to get off Earth, living in low gravity, facing extreme temperatures, protecting people from toxic radiation, growing food and cost, according to science journalist Christopher Wanjek.
In an April 6, 2021, online lecture sponsored by the
Space Telescope Science Institute (
STScI) titled “Spacefarers: How Humans Will Settle the Moon, Mars, and Beyond,” Wanjek, who authored a
book with the same title in 2020, focused on the engineering, emotional, and economic challenges that will confront human activity in space over the next 30 years.
