Jakarta –
United States Space Agency (NASA) successful launch James Webb Space Telescope at the moment of Christmas, Saturday (25/12). The spacecraft is also ready to reveal alien.
James Webb launched from the runway of French Guiana, South America, using an Ariana 5 rocket, as reported by Space, Sunday (12/26/2021).
“Go, Webb, Go!,” said Arianaspace flight controller as the takeoff was filled with cheers of the successful launch.
Space telescope it is the most expensive costing USD 10 billion with almost three decades of manufacture. James Webb is also the most sophisticated so the most sophisticated to replace Hubble which is considered obsolete.
Previously, Administrator NASA Bill Nelson said James Webb on the mission revealed that NASA had been worried about the spacecraft’s departure. Because, the importance and complexity of the observatory in working on this telescope is very big done by NASA.
“If successful, this is the most advanced technology that will unlock the secrets of the incredible universe, making a quantum leap in understanding who we are, how we are here, who we are, and how everything evolved,” he said.
James Webb space telescope was first triggered by a group of astronomers who met at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore in September 1989.
They contemplated a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, even though at that time, Hubble had not yet launched. The telescope just took off on April 24, 1990.
The process of making a space telescope takes a long time, from the planning stage to going into assembly. That’s what astronomers do in working on this project.
James Webb space telescope designed to be able to see the universe further, as well as to the past, than has been observed so far. Also exoplanets that have not been detected so far.
The super telescope is expected to detect light from the first stars that shone in the universe about 13.5 billion years ago.
