Webb has the potential to blow people away, even people who are used to hubble. and i know thats hard to imagine, but the instruments are so powerful, the telescope is so powerful, almost anywhere we look, were going to be breaking new ground in a huge way. the telescope is so big that to get into space, it had to be folded up like origami. 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...

They promise rain. there has been a lot of it and interruptions. australia won the task. england took one wicket. it has been australias day. frustrating for england. again. england went i would not say with high hopes, but their second victory in an ashes in 34 years. it would always be tough. where there is hope, you hope there is will and intent. but it has not been the easiest time to get cricket on with covid and those issues, but a lack of preparation has hit england hard and you have seen...

Could be many other planets out there with the ability to sustain life. as nasa put it this is an apollo moment. webb will fundamentally alter our understanding of the universe. it will be six months before we see any images from the telescope. while the launch was successful there is a lot that could go wrong between now and then. the telescope took 30 years to develop and involves what nasa calls giant high tech origami. it was a sun shield that will eventually reach the size of a tennis court...

Finally, the material is pulled taut, and the five layers of the sun shield, each as thin as a human hair, separate. the whole process has been rehearsed again and again on earth, but doing this in space will be nail—biting. its made of floppy material and it has to be held onto by a series of pins, which release one by one, pull it out, make it tight, release another bit, pull it out again, until slowly, over days, you pull out this tennis court sized object. so, for many people working on th...

At 6.5m wide, it�*s a massive bit of kit and crucial to the telescope working for years to come. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle explains. travelling through space and getting ready for its mission to begin, the james webb space telescope successfully launched nearly two weeks ago. it�*s a successor to hubble and will revolutionise our view of the universe. webb has the potential to blow people away, even people who are used to hubble. and i know that�*s hard to imagine, but the instrum...

A golden opportunity may be lost. this is the most fundamental change in decades. many farmers i speak to are worried, what about our prime job, they say which is to produce food? they worry prices may have to go up. we welcome the increase in payment levels that will truly reward farmers for taking part in countryside stewardship and delivering for the environment and that is something we really do welcome, but we do need more detail to know how this fits alongside sustainable food production, ...

To the birth of the universe. inside this rocket is the biggest telescope ever sent into space. punching a hole through the clouds. 20 seconds into the flight... this is the james webb space telescope. its a successor to hubble, but 100 times more powerful. 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...

Lambord misused resources and marie newman promised employment to a primary opponent to get political support. both denied the al a gas stations allegations saying it was political in nature. a flying car has received an official certificate of airworthiness, potentially, potentially opening the door to mass production. there you see the video of it. air car approved by the slovak transport authority after completing more than 70 hours of test flights, including more than 200 takeoffs and land...

Need, because heat radiation also radiates infrared and we need to cool the telescope down so we have a sun shield which is anytime between the sun and the mirror to allow the mirror to be cooling down, a few degrees above absolute zero. that is to get really sensitive images from very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far away. t very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far awa . , ., . very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far awa . , . . ., . away. i remember watching the launch on christmas — away. i remember w...
