We are live

From 1 million miles away, the James Webb Telescope is preparing to begin its science mission!

THERE’S NOTHING QUITE like the moment you switch a brand new gadget on for the first time — that refreshing ‘ding!’ and an unstained, glowing screen almost feel as productive as doing actual work. If you know what I am talking about, then you can likely imagine the satisfaction the scientists running the James Webb Space Telescope feel right now: All Webb’s science instruments are powered on, ready to reveal our cosmos as never before.


...


The ultimate goal of the James Webb Space Telescope is to use infrared imaging and other tools to stare deep into space and time. The telescope will reveal new details about the universe in its infancy, perhaps even the first-ever stars. At the same time, it will also observe the planets and objects in our own Solar System with fresh eyes, heralding an age of new astronomical discovery closer to home, too. It will stare deep into the gassy depths of strange worlds’ atmospheres looking for signs of life, and perhaps even reveal the intimate secrets of distant galaxies never seen before.

Hi @primevaldad , It will be very interesting to know everything in the vast universe, I think that what is related to the infra red reveals much more, it is not very likely that something escapes this system, or it will be that I am watching many action movies :)
A hug and happy start to the week
