This week, the world watched as the first science images from the JWST were unveiled. Here’s what it means for astronomy.
“These are where we can find the newest, most massive stars in the galaxies,” Erik Rosolowsky, a physicist from the University of Alberta in Canada,said in a statement. The JWST images also show large, spherical shells in the gas and dust.According to the team, these holes were potent...
The team was led by Dr. Henrik Melin, an STFC JWST Fellow and Planetary Scientist from the University of Leicester. He was joined by researchers from the University of Reading, theSpace Telescope Science Institute(STScI), theJAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, theCenter for Space ...
Weekly image releases from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continue to inspire budding scientists worldwide and fuel discoveries about the universe. In July, NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) celebrated one year of the telescope being in operation....
Pillars of Creation taken by the JWST. (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI / NASA) The revelations came when scientists delved deeper into one of the first images from Webb, the Cosmic Cliffs.NASAshared the photos with the world in July of the star formation NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula, which giv...
From this moment on you will always be able to tell the difference between a Hubble image and a JWST image: Hubble stars have four spikes in a cross. JWST stars have six in a snowflake. Thank you for your time.pic.twitter.com/BWsv2WqCqD ...
根据第三段“Like the technological developments that took us from Galileo’s telescope to the Hubble to the JWST, life science tools have also improved rapidly. From early light microscopes to modern super-resolution ones, these developments have afforded researchers a deep look into biology’s ...
How do images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) appear so colorful, and where do the colors come from?
"JWST is a ring machine," said Stefanie Milam, a NASA planetary scientist. "This is one of the first times we've seen the Uranus rings in a very, very long time. They are really, really hard to see, and that's because they're made out of ice and dust." ...
The telescope is about 1.5 million km (932,000 mi) from Earth at Lagrange point L2. That's a long way to send data. Webb is the first mission to use Ka-band frequencies to send its relatively high amount of data. Specifically, IEEE Spectrum notes that t...
