What can the image of the telescope "Web" tell us?

 A report by the American news site The Atlantic stated that among the things that the image sent by the James Webb telescope tells us is the success of the project. The money spent on the project was not wasted, and amounted to 10 billion dollars over 25 years.

On Monday, the US space agency, NASA, published a more detailed picture of the universe, compared to the image taken by the previous Hubble telescope.

In addition to NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency are participating in the project. The American website stated that what is more important than the fact that the beautiful picture is a picture that gives a completely new view of the universe.

The most accurate picture

The James Webb telescope is seen as the most powerful in the field of space science at all, and it was launched into space in late December 2021, and is now a million miles away from Earth.

He explained that the lights in the foreground are coming and left their galaxies 4.6 billion years ago, and the light coming from the galaxies in the back has definitely cut a longer age, and all of these were captured in unprecedented detail by the most powerful telescope in history, making this picture one of the deepest and most accurate images of the universe that it captures. mankind for the universe at all.

Mission succeeded

The website stated: "The space agencies are cheering the audience...Look, this $10 billion space telescope that we spent 25 years building is successful and beautiful."

The telescope was designed to detect celestial objects whose light is about 100 times less than that observed by Hubble.

The most surprising thing for astronomers in the image was that it was not the most that the telescope had, and it was in good condition, which made them realize that there is something exceptional in the capabilities of the telescope, and therefore the capabilities of humans.

Every image of a celestial body that James Webb can obtain is part of the universe's very deep field (an image of a spot in the universe used to detect faint-coloured objects).

The field of deep fields is a fairly new discipline. Before the launch of the Hubble telescope in the 1990s, astronomy was based on the following: choose a star, galaxy, or any other celestial body you want to study, and then aim the telescope at it.

"You won't take the telescope and point it at an empty spot in the sky, because that would be a waste of the telescope's time," says Caitlin Casey, an astronomer at the University of Texas.

Among the followers of the old method was the philologist, Bob Williams, in 1995, when he decided at the time to direct the telescope towards the void in space.

He believed that if he continued in this state for several hours in a row, the telescope would find something exciting, and the longer the telescope stared in one direction, the more lights it would detect.

His envy was correct, as it led to the discovery of more than 3,000 galaxies that are thousands of years old, but this has changed.
