Mirror is much bigger than the mirror is much bigger than the mirror on the hubble space telescope, so that makes it more sensitive, so we will be able to see fainter things in the universe that the hubble telescope hasnt been able to show us. its also working on a slightly different part of the spectrum from a slightly different part of late, hubble was working with the visible part of the spectrum, but this next one is focusing on the infrared part of the spectrum which is considered be more d...

To hubble, which has given us amazing images. butjames webb is much more powerful. its mirror is almost three times bigger, which means it can reveal parts of the cosmos weve never seen before. gazing up into the heavens can help us to answer some of the biggest questions like where we come from and how did we get here? this space telescope will help us to look further back in time than ever before to 13 and a half billion years ago, revealing the light from the very first stars to shine. well b...

But i think its going to work and i think its going to, again, just completely revolutionise how we understand the cosmos. the telescope is a successor to hubble, which has given us amazing images. butjames webb is much more powerful. its mirror is almost three times bigger, which means it can reveal parts of the cosmos weve never seen before. gazing up into the heavens can help us to answer some of the biggest questions like where we come from and how did we get here? this space telescope will ...

Wrights death was. whats important for viewers to understand is that none of this had to happen. this all was the result of racial profiling of daunte wright for having an airfreshener hanging on his mirror and having expired licence tags. one of the issues that we raised with the police chief and elected officials in brooklyn centre is why was it a priority to pull someone over in the midst of a global pandemic for something so petty? and instead of treating daunte wright like a human being, be...

Glows after the big bang. our science editor, rebecca morelle has more. its taken 30 years to develop, cost more than $10 billion and has involved thousands of scientists. now the james webb space telescope is finally ready to launch to begin the most ambitious astronomy mission ever attempted. this telescope is absolutely the biggest and most complex and most powerful telescope that weve ever attempted to send to space. all of us astronomers are extremely eager to get this telescope into space....

The most ambitious astronomy mission ever attempted. this telescope is absolutely the biggest and most complex and most powerful telescope that weve ever attempted to send to space. all of us astronomers are extremely eager to get this telescope into space. but i think its going to work and i think its going to, again, just completely revolutionise how we understand the cosmos. the telescope is a successor to hubble, which has given us amazing images. butjames webb is much more powerful. its mir...

Background as well. you could just reach out and touch it. can you explain why it requires such an enormous mirror? and how do you ensure that you can keep it safe as it is launching into space? >> so, the reason we require a big mirror is because we need more collecting area. the bigger the mirror, the more life you collect with the octobers that you can see. so, thats the first thing. how do we keep it safe during launch? well, on this particular telescope, its gotten so big now in terms of th...

Very minute adjustments to each of the mirrors so that they all behave like a single 6 1/2-meter diameter mirror. that takes about six months in total, and then well start to get the first science images. of course the whole package needs to cool down to that very cold minus 400 degrees fahrenheit. >> remarkable. thank you so much for coming in. and good luck tomorrow. >> thank you very much. >> really appreciate it. coming up for us, incredible video. the moment a tsa officer springs into actio...

Telescope needs to be kept very, very cold which isnt always possible when you are orbiting around the sun. so a five layer sun shield will need to unfold around the mirror to keep it protected at an spf of over 1 million. scientists and astronomers are understandably nervous, but excited. >> its kind of a cliché to say that it is going to change the course of astronomy, but it might very well do that because it is such a leap in capabilities. >> were gonna learn some things about how galaxies ...

As the successor to the hubble. the telescope has instrument sensitive enough that it will be able to look back at 13 billion years of cosmic history. how is that possible? nbc news explains, telescopes essentially function as time machines because it takes time for light to travel through space. the web observatory will be able to see farther into the universe than ever before, and therefore farther back in time. this means that astronomers will have the chance to study primitive stars and gala...
