The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant , or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope . [ 9 ]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was on an Ariane 5 rocket when it left the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana, and aims to help to answer unsolved questions about the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope was released from the rocket upper stage 27 minutes after a flawless launch. [1] [14] Starting 31 minutes after launch, and continuing for about 13 days, JWST began the process of deploying its solar array, antenna, sunshield, and mirrors. [27]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an international 21st-century space observatory that was launched on 25 December 2021. [1] [2] It is intended to be the premier observatory of the 2020s, combining the largest mirror yet on a near-infrared space telescope with a suite of technologically advanced instruments from around the world.

James Webb: Born in NC, schooled at UNC-Chapel Hill James Webb was born in 1906 and lived in rural Granville County, on the northern border of North Carolina. His father was the superintendent of ...
Webb's First Deep Field is the first full false-color image from the JWST, [12] and the highest-resolution infrared view of the universe yet captured. [11] The image reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of the universe, with Webb's sharp near-infrared view bringing out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most ...
NIRCam wrapped up in 2013 NIRCam being installed in 2014. NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) is an instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope.It has two major tasks, as an imager from 0.6 to 5 μm wavelength, and as a wavefront sensor to keep the 18-section mirrors functioning as one.
To allow mid-infrared observations within the JWST, the MIRI instrument has an additional cooling system. It works roughly similar to how most refrigerators or an air-conditioner works: a fluid is brought down to a cold temperature in the warm section, and sent back to the cold section where it absorbs heat, then it goes back to the condenser.
