We are seeing light that has journeyed for over 13 billion years to reach us. it is almost like a time machine. youre looking back into the far distant past, and so we can begin to answer those questions such as how did the first galaxies and stars form? the hope with this telescope is we see sort of almost in real time, as it were, a history of the universe, playing it out. and lift off! the telescope blasted off last year, on christmas day. the start of a new era of exploration. james webb is ...

Long and finally see it come to fruition and do what it is supposed to do is absolutely incredible. the images are amazing, themselves, just as images, but the detailed science we will be able to do and what we can learn from these images is what makes me so excited. the telescope blasted off last year, on christmas day. and over the last six months its been getting ready for its mission. the james webb space telescope is an engineering marvel. at its core is a six and a half metre wide mirror m...

Been getting ready for its mission. the james webb space telescope is an engineering marvel. at its core is a six and a half metre wide mirror made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each perfectly aligned to act as a single surface. it also has a sun shield the size of a tennis court to protect it from the heat and light of the sun. the telescope will look back further in time than ever before, showing us the light from the very first stars to shine. well also be able to see how they came together to...

I only have so much warming layers and at the time i think it was about 20 degrees outside. im not sure how cold it is now but it would get very cold in my car very fast. the newjames webb telescope has completed a crucial task, in its quest to observe some of the most distant objects in the universe. its controllers completed the deployment of the space observatory�*s giant kite—shaped sun shield, which is the size of a tennis court. the barrier will allow the telescope to detect signals de...

Its been busy unfurling, first its sun shield, which is the size of a tennis court. but now a vital stage of the process is beginning. the mirror is the most important part of the telescope. its two folded sides open up and lock into place at 6.5 metres wide. its so big that it consists of 18 separate hexagonal segments. theyre made from beryllium, a stiff and lightweight metal that can withstand the extreme temperatures of space. the whole thing is covered in gold so thin that the entire coatin...

Weve never attempted anything like that in space before. were going to be entering a whole new regime of astrophysics. a new frontier. and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5 metre—wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means it can detect the incredibly faint light coming from the most distant stars. it also has a huge sun shield, about th...

A new frontier. and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5 metre—wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means it can detect the incredibly faint light coming from the most distant stars. it also has a huge sun shield, about the size of a tennis court. its made up of five layers, each as thin as a human hair, and this protects the telescope fro...

After three decades in the making, and a cost of $10 billion, its finally on its way. weve never attempted anything like that in space before. were going to be entering a whole new regime of astrophysics. a new frontier. and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5 metre—wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means it can detect the incredibly f...

But the instruments are so powerful, the telescope is so powerful, almost anywhere we want, we are going to be breaking new ground in a huge way. the telescope is so big, to get into space, it had to be folded up like origami. it has been busy unfurling, first its sun shield, which is the size of a tennis court, but now a vital stage of the process is beginning. the mirror is the most important part of the telescope. its two folded sides open up and lock into place. at 6.5 metres wide, it is so ...

Its size means it can detect the incredibly faint light coming from the most distant stars. it also has a huge sun shield, about the size of a tennis court. its made up of five layers, each as thin as a human hair, and this protects the telescope from the heat and light of the sun. sitting a million miles away from the earth, the telescope will give us our deepest ever view of the cosmos. from seeing the birth of the very first stars and galaxies, to revealing new planets in far—flung solar sy...
