NASA continued to work on James Webb for many years, which replaced the Hubble telescope. At the beginning of this year, although it decided to postpone it due to several adverse conditions, it managed to launch the telescope into space. The first color photographs recorded by the spacecraft that entered its orbit in the past months were shared in July, and the ones belonging to the Phantom Galaxy were shared today.
James Webb and Hubble worked together for the Phantom Galaxy!
NASA has been working on the Phantom Galaxy for 10 years with the Hubble telescope and many observatories. Many images have been shared so far. But when combined with those recorded by James Webb, we see an extraordinary frame emerge.
The photo on the left side of the image shared above is the Phantom Galaxy, recorded by Hubble and worked on for 10 years. On the right is a new photo taken in infrared by Webb.
Is there life in space? New discovery from James Webb
Scientists announced that the James Webb space telescope detected carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of WASP-39b, an exoplanet.
As a result of the work done by NASA, two photographs are combined in a single frame in spectra that can be perceived by the human eye. Although it looks like a wormhole at first glance, we actually see the Phantom Galaxy moving in a 3D plane, not on a single axis.
Of course, Webb’s contribution to new scientific studies is quite large. It’s not just about perceiving the visible. According to Hubble, it gives astronomers a new perspective thanks to the detail it captures and its ability to see in different spectra.
A similar situation occurred in this last example. Both Hubble and astronomers have studied the Phantom Galaxy for many years. But thanks to Webb, the distribution of the cosmic cloud in the universe and its close examination were made possible.
Even the data that Webb sent to Earth in just 1.5 months is equivalent to Hubble’s years of work. In addition, thanks to Webb, we can see distant points of space that we have not been able to look at until today, and we have more data about the formation of the universe.
