but i think it s going to work and i think it s going to, again, just completely revolutionise how we understand the cosmos. the telescope is a successor to hubble, which has given us amazing images. butjames webb is much more powerful. its mirror is almost three times bigger, which means it can reveal parts of the cosmos we ve never seen before. gazing up into the heavens can help us to answer some of the biggest questions like where we come from and how did we get here? this space telescope will help us to look further back in time than ever before to 13 and a half billion years ago, revealing the light from the very first stars to shine. we ll be able to see the earliest galaxy formation and whether they spiral into space like our own milky way, and other planetary systems will also come into view, allowing us to discover whether life could exist on other worlds. scientists will be able to study every phase of cosmic history. we think that the first stars might actually be really hu
the most ambitious astronomy mission ever attempted. this telescope is absolutely the biggest and most complex and most powerful telescope that we ve ever attempted to send to space. all of us astronomers are extremely eager to get this telescope into space. but i think it s going to work and i think it s going to, again, just completely revolutionise how we understand the cosmos. the telescope is a successor to hubble, which has given us amazing images. butjames webb is much more powerful. its mirror is almost three times bigger, which means it can reveal parts of the cosmos we ve never seen before. gazing up into the heavens can help us to answer some of the biggest questions like where we come from and how did we get here? this space telescope will help us to look further back in time than ever before to 13.5 billion years ago, revealing the light from the very first stars to shine. we ll be able to see the earliest galaxy formation
first stars to shine. we ll be able to see the earliest galaxy formation and whether they spiral into space like our own milky way, for it to unfurl in space, more than 100 release mechanisms need to fire at exactly the right time in the right order. this is high stakes science, but if it works, it could lead to discoveries that scientists haven t even dreamt of. rebecca morrell, bbc news. a caller has pranked us presidentjoe biden by dropping an anti biden taunt into their chat during a white house christmas event. mr biden and first ladyjill biden were hosting the festive call for families when a father told the president, let s go, brandon. apparently unaware of the gibe, mr biden said he agreed. the term, which has become a rallying cry for many conservatives, is code for a profane insult directed at mr biden. don t forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter
“Weightlessness was unbelievable. It's physical euphoria: Nothing about you has any weight. You don't realize that you are weighed down all the time by yourself, and your organs, and your head. Your arms weigh down your shoulders. In space simulation, you get to fly like Superman! You're hanging in the air! It's the coolest thing.” -Mary Roach
Despite the name, some black holes effectively “shine” as they suck up nearby material with such force that it begins to glow. New research reveals a new method for detecting these active black holes.
