James Webb Space Telescope Reached Observation Point

The most advanced space telescope developed by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency in partnership with 15 countries. James WebbIt was finally launched into space on December 25, after years of delay. The telescope, which aims to capture the first lights of the universe and is expected to reveal details about the universe that we have not seen before, is finally today. reached the target point.

The James Webb Space Telescope has reached the Sun-Earth Lagrange point called ‘L2’. The telescope, which has been traveling through space for about a month, will prepare to observe the universe at this point starting today. Before starting the observations, the team behind the telescope will wait for the instruments to cool down.

First image from James Webb Space Telescope could come in 5 months

The team behind Hubble will spend six months making sure the instruments on the telescope are working properly before starting the scientific work. Telescope, every 180 days The sun will complete its orbit in its orbit. The first image from Hubble is expected to be sent within five months.

What is the L2 point where Webb is placed?

In the position called the Lagrangian point reached by the telescope, the Sun and the Earth created gravitational force cancel each other out. The telescope was placed at the point called ‘L2’ from 5 Lagrangian points between the Sun and the Earth. To date, some satellites have also been placed at this L2 point. This point is from the world about 1.5 million kilometers away exists
