The James Webb Telescope, which is more than 1.5 million km from Earth, at its special point of view, has successfully passed an important stage: the instrument that needed to be cooled the most has reached the temperature from which it will be able to it works normally, says NASA. On April 7, the Mid-Infrared … Read more
The James Webb Space Telescope entered orbit around a point in space nearly a million miles from Earth, where you can capture the light of the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang. As planned, the European Ariane 5 rocket that launched James Webb on Christmas Day put the telescope on a … Read more
The james webb telescope reached its final orbit, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, from where it will be able to observe the first galaxies of the Universe, confirmed this Monday the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (POT). Around 7:00 p.m. GMT, it activated its thrusters to reach Lagrange point 2, ideal for observing the cosmos. … Read more
Thirty days after leaving the earth, the James Webb Space Telescope will enter its parking orbit nearly a million miles away on Monday, an ideal spot to scan the skies for the faint infrared light of the first generation of stars Y galaxies . But getting there, and successfully unfurling a giant umbrella, mirrors, and … Read more
It’s done. The largest astronomical mirror ever sent into space is assembled and ready to focus. The gold reflector, the centerpiece of the new James Webb telescope, straightened into its 6.5-meter-wide full concave shape on Saturday. The mirror had been doubled as a flip table for the mission launch on Christmas Day. James Webb is … Read more

As reported by RT in Spanish. Through Twitter, the agency explained that just below James Webb you can see the asteroid (35452) 1998 DF10, which is … Read more
A decisive step has been taken in preparation for the commissioning of the James Webb space telescope: according to the US space agency, NASA, the telescope’s sunscreen, about the size of a tennis court, was left wide open. Deployment completes one of the most complicated procedures for telescope setup. It is an “incredible milestone,” extremely … Read more
NASA reported that this Tuesday, January 4 managed to successfully overcome one of the most complex stages in the deployment of the James Webb telescope, such as the deployment of its heat shield. The purpose of this piece is to prevent the sun’s rays from hitting the device directly and causing an increase in temperature. … Read more
