James Webb Space Telescope Introduction


Listen Later

Welcome to The James Webb Space Telescope Podcast Introduction Episode.
The James Webb Telescope is a space telescope specifically designed to conduct infrared astronomy. It is the largest and most powerful telescope ever built, and it is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Webb was launched on December 25, 2021, and it reached its final orbit around the Sun in January 2022.
Webb is so important because it will allow us to see the universe in a whole new light. Infrared light is able to penetrate dust and gas clouds that obscure our view of the universe in visible light. This means that Webb will be able to see objects that are too old, distant, or faint for Hubble to see.
Webb's goals include:
Studying the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang
Looking for exoplanets and other worlds beyond our solar system
Studying the atmospheres of exoplanets to search for signs of life
Studying the evolution of galaxies and the formation of stars and planets
We can expect to see many amazing discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope. Webb will be able to see the universe in more detail than ever before, and it will help us to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our place in the cosmos.
That's it for our introduction to the James Webb Space Telescope Podcast. I hope you enjoyed learning more about this incredible telescope. Stay tuned for future episodes, where we will explore the latest news and discoveries from Webb.
