The James Webb Space Telescope lit up 2022 with dazzling images of the early universe after the Big Bang, heralding a new era of astronomy and untold revelations about the cosmos in years to come. The most powerful observatory sent into space succeeds the Hubble telescope, which is still operating, and began transmitting its first cosmic images in July. "It essentially behaves better than expected in almost every area," said Massimo Stiavelli, head of the Webb mission office at the Space Telescope Science Institute, in Baltimore. Already scientists say the Webb telescope, now orbiting the sun at a million miles (1.6 million kilometr...

HAUNTING! NASA James Webb Telescope Pillars of Creation photo is simply fantastic

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a haunting image of what it has dubbed as the Pillars of Creation. Don't be scared! NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a haunting photo that reveals dust and structures out there in deep space that it has dubbed as the Pillars of Creation. Explaining the image, NASA on Friday said, "This is not an ethereal landscape of time-forgotten tombs. Nor are these soot-tinged fingers reaching out. These pillars, flush with gas and dust, enshroud stars that are slowly forming over many millennia. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has snapped this eerie, extremely dusty view of the Pillars of Creation in mid-infrared light – showing us a new view of a familiar landscape." Also, answering the question why does mid-infrared light se...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope solves the mystery of these colossal rings

[ad_1] NASA James Webb Space Telescope captures this stunning image of the rare Wolf-Rayet 140. This striking image taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope may puzzle and dazzle many. It depicts the rare Wolf-Rayet 140 (WR 140), a double star system, or a binary star system, which is around 5000 light-years from Earth. This Wolf-Rayet star is one in 600 found so far. And these mysterious rings around the star are dust shells that extend outwards over an enormous area of 10 trillion km! To keep it simple, it can be understood as being 70000 times the distance between Earth and our Sun. This stunning image has been captured by the most powerful James Webb Space Telescope.NASA shared this breathtaking image while explaining that “Just as growth rings record the history of a tree, thes...

Historic! NASA’s Hubble, James Webb Space Telescope to capture DART asteroid impact

[ad_1] NASA has announced that the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope will be observing the historic DART asteroid impact. The entire scientific community is excited and anxious about the historic NASA DART asteroid impact on September 26. This will be the first time humanity will test out its defense capabilities in case an asteroid is ever headed towards its direction. And while there will be Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) live streams, which will show the images from the impact site just 3 minutes after the impact, NASA scientists do not want to miss even a second of the action. And that's why they have called upon the veteran Hubble Space Telescope and young star James Webb Space Telescope ...

Houston, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has a problem! Untimely death in offing?

[ad_1] The ultracold camera on the NASA James Webb Space Telescope has been hit by a glitch. This has been affecting its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), one of the crucial components on JWST. What will happen now? Houston, we have a problem! This iconic phrase has been used exhaustively to signal that things are really looking bad for the person or thing in question. It may as well be applied to the James Webb Space Station which has run into a massive problem some 1 million miles from Earth. After enchanting the world for the last three months with breathtaking, never-seen-before images, the NASA James Webb Space Telescope has faced an unexpected challenge. The space telescope is experiencing a technical glitch. This glitch ...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope looks into the past! Does it reveal secrets of the universe?

[ad_1] NASA James Webb Space Telescope has been touted to look into the past and understand the origin of the universe. But how is it possible? The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has changed the way we look at space. Ever since we saw its first images on July 12, the space telescope has been mesmerizing us with its stunning never-seen-before images. Recently, the tech marvel captured the first ever clear image of Neptune and it showcased the magnificent rings surrounding it. Not only that but it has shown us distant galaxies and star clusters in a way that scientists didn't think was possible. And it does that using two of its crucial instruments called Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). They c...

Stunning spider in space! NASA James Webb Space Telescope captures RARE cosmic tarantula Nebula

[ad_1] The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a Nebula that looks like the dangerous tarantula spider waiting to pounce on its victim. The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has again taken a stunning image. The world's most powerful space telescope has been working overtime to scale the depths of the universe and capture never-seen-before images for us. And so far, it has not disappointed. From capturing the ‘mountains' and ‘valleys' of Carina Nebula to showcasing a phantom galaxy millions of lightyears away, scientists have been blown away by the visuals of the uncharted space territory. And to add to its list of accolades, the James Webb telescope has now captured an image of a Nebula which looks...
