The brilliant light detected by NASA’s James Webb Telescope (JWST) three billion light years from Earth is believed to be the first $10 billion scope observation of a dying star’s explosion. Officially known as a supernova, it is the ‘last hurray’ that occurs when a star runs out of fuel. This causes the pressure to drop, where the cosmic object expands to at least five times the mass of our sun – which is about 333,000 Earths in size – and then explodes, releasing tons of debris and particles. A stellar explosion occurred in the galaxy SDSS.J141930.11+5251593, where a JWST image showed an object’s light dimming in the span of five days – a clue that fueled the supernova theory. Also of interest is the fact that JWST was not designed to find and detect new transients, Mike Engesser of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), told Inverse, which first reported the discovery.

Load Later, Dawes became the inspiration for Kate Grenville astronomer Daniel Rooke di Lieutenant (2008), before appearing as herself, instructs Elizabeth Macarthur in stargazing, at Room Made of Leaves (2020). And at Ashley Hay’s Body in the Cloud (2010), Dawes is one of three characters united by their attraction to stars. Others are 1930s bridge workers and modern bankers. Dawes described Sydney Harbor as having “a few tricks” to its appearance, “like the inside of a telescope”. Despite being separated by time, all three miraculously see the same fallen man. It’s surprising how often astronomy appears in fiction about death. In the work of Kathleen Watson Broken Dream House (1908), astronomer Eric was the only child of a single mother. His career epitomizes his lofty ideals, but his obsession with heroism has devastating consequences. D’Arcy Niland writes about a girl who learns to live without her father at Call Me When The Cros...

However, the $10 billion space satellite isn’t launched just to bring you new wallpapers out of the world. In addition to space research, James Webb will have important missions: study the solar system, and it’s already started. True, the solar system still has many unknowns. Even recently POT decided to direct James Webb viewers to a not-so-close neighbor, Jupiter . Through publications on its official website, and in googleArts&Culture, They show the images they obtained of the gas giant and other impressive space images. Photo of Jupiter made by the James Webb Telescope. (photo: NASA) If James Webb could take impressive pictures from billions of light years away, just imagine what it could do in the solar system. Although the mission focused on space exploration for the first fe...

If you are already following astronomy community on Twitter or maybe, Captain America himself You may have come across the story about the latest discovery of the James Webb Space Telescope: “The oldest galaxy we have ever seen.” This is exactly as promised from the James Webb Space Telescope. Just a week ago, the collective jaws of the world hit the floor when First amazing picture revealed . Now, the telescope started off right myriad science programs but researchers already have access to much of the data collected during the commissioning phase of JWST and released earlier to researchers around the world. That’s how we ended up discovering the “oldest galaxy” so quickly. Scientists examine specific data sets to search for distant galaxies and find a candidate they have dubbed the GL-z13, a callback to the current confirmed record holder, the GNz11. There’s still a lot of work to be done to make sure the GL-z13 is actually the new reco...

Just a week after its first images were shown to the world, the James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered a galaxy that existed 13.5 billion years ago, a scientist analyzing the data said Wednesday. Known as GLASS-z13, this galaxy dates back to 300 million years after the Big Bang, about 100 million years earlier than anything previously identified, Rohan Naidu of the Harvard Center for Astrophysics told AFP. “We are potentially seeing the light of the most distant star that anyone has ever seen,” he said. The further away the object is from us, the longer it will take for its light to reach us, and so gazing back into the distant universe is looking into the deep past. JWST has the potential to break records, discovering galaxies that existed when the universe was only 300 million years old! Light from GLASS-z13 took 13.4 billion years to reach us, but the distance between us is now 33 billion light years due to the expansion of the universe! pic.twitter.com/5AcOBwHuO...

Yes, tiny rock particles hit the Webb telescope. No, the mission almost failed. You may have read misleading headlines emphasizing that the James Webb Space Telescope – the most powerful observatory ever built – has suffered permanent damage. That’s a bit of a cherry on a new 55-page report that describes the instrument’s excellent scientific performance over the past six months, as engineers prepare and test unprecedented cosmic observation capabilities. The Webb telescope, overall, is in excellent condition. Here’s what you should know about observatory conditions that will revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos. SEE ALSO: The first stunning cosmic image from the James Webb telescope is here What do scientists conclude about the state of the Webb telescope? NASA and its collaborative partners, the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency, concluded that Webb – even after micrometeroids (small rock particles often the size of dus...

In the first image released by NASA from the Webb telescope, some galaxies look like stretched strings of candy. That’s because the universe itself has changed our view of the deep cosmos. Astronomers recently pointed the colossal James Webb Space Telescope at a group of galaxies dubbed SMACS 0723. Most importantly, galaxies are extremely massive objects because they contain hundreds of billions of stars, millions of black holes, and perhaps trillions of planets. The combined mass of these galaxies warps space, like a bowling ball sitting on a mattress. This curved space essentially creates the “lens” we see. So the light from the galaxy behind the galaxy cluster that we (or the Webb telescope) see ends up being distorted. This is an event called “gravitational lensing.” As the Space Telescope Science Institute (which runs the telescope) explains: “It’s like having a camera lens between us and a galaxy more distant.” SEE ALSO: The firs...

It’s been an exciting week with the release of amazing photos of our Universe by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Images like the one below give us the opportunity to see distant, faint galaxies as they did more than 13 billion years ago. The field image in SMACS 0723 was taken with just a 12.5 hour exposure. The faint galaxy in this image emitted this light more than 13 billion years ago. NASA, ESA, CSA and STScI This is a great time to step back and appreciate our first class ticket to the depths of the Universe and how these images allow us to look back in time. These images also raise an interesting point about how the expansion of the Universe factors into the way we calculate distances on a cosmological scale. Modern time travel Looking back in time may sound like a strange concept, but that’s what space researchers do every day. Our Universe is bound by the rules of physics, with one of the best known “rules”...

The stars in new images from the James Webb Space Telescope look sharper than ever. And I’m not just talking about image quality, which is amazing. I’m talking about the fact that many of the bright stars in photos have very distinct nails that look like Christmas ornaments or, as one of my colleagues put it, “look like JJ Abrams promotional posters, and I love that. ” But this is not the case Lens flare too much. These are diffraction spikes, and if you look closely, you will see that all the bright objects in the JWST image have the same eight-dot pattern. The brighter the light, the clearer the gain. Faint objects such as nebulae or galaxies don’t tend to see much of this distortion. This yaw spike pattern is a unique pattern in JWST. If you compare the photos taken with the new telescope to the images taken by its predecessors, you will see that Hubble has only four diffraction heights to eight at JWST. (Two of the JWST spikes can be very dim, so sometimes ...

by Jeremy Gray posted Friday, July 15, 2022 at 15:00 EDT Yesterday, we saw Webb’s incredible photos of the Southern Ring Nebula. On Wednesday, the focus was Webb’s first deep-plane image of SMACS 0723, the sharpest and deepest image of the universe captured so far. Now it’s time to take a look at Stephan’s Quintet, as imaged by the Webb Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Central Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The Quintet Stephan image is a large mosaic of nearly 1,000 images. This is Webb’s big image to date and contains over 150 million pixels. You can download the full 150MB .TIFF file here. All of these details allowed researchers to investigate how interactions between galaxies drove the evolution of galaxies in the early universe. Stephan’s Quintet (NIRCam and MIRI composite image). “With its powerful infrared vision and extremely high spatial resolution, Webb demonstrates never-before-seen detail in this galaxy cluster.
