James Webb Space Telescope

 James Webb Space Telescope

Hey there, so today we are going to take a deep to explore the most powerful space telescope ever made. the JWST ( James Webb space telescope). We can able to see the past times of the universe, what was happened in the early universe nearly the birth of it  JWST

So guys JWST was launched by NASA and the European space agency on 25th December 2021. After launching it has roughly taken a month to arrive at a destination 1500000 km from earth to 'L2 point' (Lagrange point). This specific position is means the gravitational forces between two bodies are negligible, so the object can revolve without any force of gravity consequently by saving fuel also. After going into space JWST starts generating its own power after solar panels get deployed.

              Preparation for this mission indeed started 1 decade before, because this project could take a lot of time and all scientists wanted to reveal the further boundary of the known universe. Let's talk about some cool JWST structures:

 

The size of the telescope is about a tennis court. There are two types of mirror on JWST primary mirror of 6.5 meters and secondary mirror. There are 18 segments of mirror each individual mirror is coated with gold on the surface to reflect the maximum amount of light which further generate a clear image. The kite-like shape of a sun shield of 5 layers blocks heats coming from the sun because if a tiny amount of radiation bombard it can interrupt in image capturing process. though its required temperature is very low to operate at its optimum level. Gimbaled antenna is a telescope's high-rated antenna through which the connection is done with the telescope. The advantage of Webb's mirror with Hubble mirror is that the web's mirror has 10 times more mass per unit area and is strong as well. Each mirror is made up of beryllium which makes it lighter and tougher. The hexagonal design of the mirror fills all gaps within them for better alignment of all mirrors, like honeycomb structures. Mirror gather all incoming photon and reflect back them to the secondary mirror. At the downside of the telescope box-like area which is spacecraft controlling system consists :

1) Cameras - Which takes pictures of an astronomical object.

2) Spectrographs - Which breaks the light into colors for further analysis.

3) Coronographs - It prevents different lights emitting from stars, which allows observation of planets orbiting nearby stars.

         According to NASA the lifespan of JWST is at least 10 years, but it could work for 20 years. 

JWST can able to view  '13 billion light years' in deep space clearer than Hubble can. People are so curious to see the first image taken by JWST. The first image JWST will go to take off a star. 

JWST will make history it will reveal further different celestial bodies beyond galaxies and gigantic gas clouds with infrared imaging clearer than ever taken. Still, it takes 3 to 4 months after deployment of all parts to calibrate its machinery in a precise manner. This telescope will create history just we need little patience to uncover the hidden treasure embedded in deep space, what happened in past times of the early universe, or to find out unknown celestial habitat deeper than ever.  NASA -JWST
