NASA sent the most powerful James Webb telescope into space, the hard work of 10 thousand scientists
US Space Agency NASA has successfully launched its new James Webb Telescope. James Webb Space Telescope was launched unitedly with NASA and the European Space Agency. It's being called a significant breakthrough within the field of space science because James Webb will play a vital role within the discovery of stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, asteroids at far Distances. So far, NASA's Hubble Telescope sends amazing pictures from space, which is able to now get replaced by the James Webb Telescope.
The James Webb Telescope was launched by Ariane-5 ECA rocket from Kourou Launch Station in French Guiana at 12:20 UTC (5:50 PM IST) on Saturday 25 December. It'll be established at an altitude of 15 lakh km from the planet. 10,000 scientists contributed to the creation of James Webb. It's believed that the amazing ability of the James Webb telescope will help solve mysteries like the origin of the universe and also the existence of aliens.
It is jointly made by NASA, the European Space Agency and also the Canadian Space Agency. NASA's new telescope contains a golden mirror, whose width is about 21.32 feet. This mirror is formed by joining 18 hexagon pieces manufactured from beryllium. Every bit is plated with 48.2 grams of gold, in order that it acts as a reflector. If it doesn't suffer any damage, then it'll do its work continuously for 5 to 10 years.
In February, it'll take the primary picture of space after 40 days. This telescope is sort of different from the old Hubble. If a fault occurs, it will be repaired from the Earth itself. $ 10 billion (about Rs 73,616 crore) has been spent within the construction of James Webb Telescope. Despite being Expensive, this is a Historical Launch for World. This telescope is also ready to see the spectrum, that is, it'll be able to see the faint stars and galaxies located very far-off.
