The American Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the James Webb space telescope, which it has been working on for many years with many countries for the exploration of the universe, with the Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana on December 25, 2021. On January 24, he left the Earth, where he would work for 10 years. 1.5 million kilometers farther away Langrange-2 (L2) had reached the point.
New news from the James Webb space telescope: First signal detected
On December 25, it was announced that he discovered the first signal of the James Webb space telescope, which went on a 10-year space exploration mission.
Images show a star called HD 84406
The James Webb Space Telescope, which reached the L2 point in the past days, started its preparations on February 2, which will last for 5 months. 18 hexagonal mirrors with 6.5 meters The telescope, which is produced in the form of a giant eye with a diameter of 15, will be adjusted in millimeters during this process, and then it will start its work. It will begin sending its first stunning cosmic photos in mid-summer.
James Webb submitted a test image when he was in the middle of aligning his segmented mirrors. In the photo sent by the telescope A star named HD 84406 exists. The photo taken was planned and not exploratory, but sending such an image seems to relieve scientists. Astronomer from the Space Telescope Science Institute Marshall Perringave the following words on the subject.
The fact that we have received so much data since the first day is a product of Webb’s seamless work with all science operations and data processing systems on Earth. This has been a great starting point for aligning the mirrors.
James Webb Space Telescope, Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) sent his first photo using his tool. It has completed the first phase of the months-long process of aligning the telescope’s mirror. Webb, the discoverer of more than 200,000 galaxies, the source of most information we know about space. Hubble Telescope100 times stronger than . In another sense, Webb travels through time. 13.5 billion years ago will be able to see. It is already a matter of curiosity what they will send after the installation of the telescope.
