Science and technology, explained simply
Scientists have discovered the oldest and most distant supermassive black hole to date. The James Webb Space Telescope helped them with this, Space writes. What is known A supermassive black hole lies in the center of the CEERS 1019 galaxy. It appeared only 570 million years after the Big Bang. The difficulty in detecting the […]
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the result of a collision between two galaxies that took place half a billion years ago, space.com reports. What is known As a result of the collision of two galaxies 500 million years ago, a new galaxy was born. It is called NGC 3256 and is located at […]
James Webb has pulled off a spectacular trick. The space telescope took a photo in which the same galaxy is depicted three times in different places. What is known At first glance, it may seem that James Webb has done something magical, but this happens. This happens when light from an object travels along several […]
The James Webb Telescope has received new images of the galaxy NGC 7469. This galaxy with an active black hole at its center is ideally located for observation — its entire plane is extended toward Earth. But the special Christmas charm of the picture was given by the image defects caused by the stretching of […]
As planned, the James Webb Telescope team has demonstrated the first full color images obtained with this new space observatory. The telescope made the deepest and most accurate infrared image of the distant universe to date. This is a detailed image of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 (in the cap to this article). The James […]
Experts from the James Webb Mission Support Team (JWST) reported the successful cooling to operating temperature of the telescope’s most sensitive instrument, the MIRI Medium Infrared Camera. This means that the observatory is one step closer to the beginning of its scientific program. How to see the light of the first stars Why do you […]
NASA said that the initial focusing stage of the main mirror of the James Webb Space Telescope has been successfully completed. Recently, the image of the target star from all 18 segments was reduced to one, and now focusing has been performed. Interestingly, when the specialists finished focusing the mirror, they were surprised by the […]
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope show that the space observatory has reached another important stage of preparation for full-fledged work. All 18 mirrors are now aligned enough to act as one powerful mirror. The NASA space agency has published a “selfie” of the James Webb Space Telescope, as well as an updated […]
