to the birth of the universe. inside this rocket is the biggest telescope ever sent into space. punching a hole through the clouds. 20 seconds into the flight. this is the james webb space telescope. it s a successor to hubble, but 100 times more powerful. after three decades in the making, and a cost of $10 billion, it s finally on its way. we ve never attempted anything like that in space before. we re going to be entering a whole new regime of astrophysics. a new frontier. and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5 metre wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means it can detect the incredibly faint light coming from the most distant stars. it also has a huge sun shield, about the size of a tennis court.
lambord misused resources and marie newman promised employment to a primary opponent to get political support. both denied the al a gas stations allegations saying it was political in nature. a flying car has received an official certificate of airworthiness, potentially, potentially opening the door to mass production. there you see the video of it. air car approved by the slovak transport authority after completing more than 70 hours of test flights, including more than 200 takeoffs and landings. it still is just a concept car and you will need to be a qualified pilot to fly one. jim, no word on what insurance will cost for that as well . sun shield the size of a
need, because heat radiation also radiates infrared and we need to cool the telescope down so we have a sun shield which is anytime between the sun and the mirror to allow the mirror to be cooling down, a few degrees above absolute zero. that is to get really sensitive images from very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far away. t very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far awa . , ., . very faint fuzzy galaxy is very far awa . , . . ., . away. i remember watching the launch on christmas away. i remember watching the launch on christmas day, away. i remember watching the launch on christmas day, very away. i remember watching the launch on christmas day, very exciting, - away. i remember watching the launch on christmas day, very exciting, but . on christmas day, very exciting, but also perilous because it had to travel a long way and also each stage of the completion of that journey at the opening up of the telescope when it got into the right position has many risks attached. what is the next
The world’s most powerful telescope unfurled its final mirror today as it sped away to its final destination one million miles from earth. NASA completed the final step of the Webb telescope’s difficult two-week initiation process Saturday, unfolding the final 21-foot piece: its ‘golden eye.’ NPR science correspondent Joe Palca joins Hari Sreenivasan to explain more about the telescope, its design, and its purpose.
good party. we have a tradition| good party. we have a tradition on the ship where we have a bell on the bridge and the oldest person on board, one of our engineers, brings out the year and then the youngest person on board, one of our it people, they ring in the new year so we did that it gmt, uk new year and it was a good little party that we had. i little party that we had. i hope you get a lot of good work done as well. thank you very much for sparing few minutes. the newjames webb telescope has completed a crucial task, in its quest to observe some of the most distant objects in the universe. its controllers completed the deployment of the space observatory s giant kite shaped sun shield, which is the size of a tennis court. the barrier will allow the telescope to detect signals deep in space, including from objects present during the formation of the first galaxies.
