Jwst – The James Webb Space Telescope

Looking Deeper Into The UniverseSome megaprojects involve gigantic infrastructures, like, for example, the 27-kilometer diameter circle of the CERN particles accelerator or the 800-mile-long neutrino experiment of DUNE .Others can be qualified as megaprojects not because of their size but because of their sheer complexity, costs, and how transformative they are to our understanding of the Universe.A good example of this is the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This infrared light space-based telescope is the most powerful and largest ever created. The telescope takes its name from James E. Webb, the legendary administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.JWST is so powerful that it could equally help us observe the very first stars to have ignited in the Universe and find potentially habitable exoplanets. And to obtain these results, scientists and engineers have worked wonders to push the limit of what telescopes could achieve.Why Put A Telescope In Space?The first thing to understand about the James Webb Space Telescope is why it needs to be in space in the first place. After all, lifting complex machinery into space is a lot more difficult than building the same thing down on Earth.By going out of the atmosphere, telescopes can get a view of the Universe undisturbed by light pollution, atmospheric turbulence, and, of course, clouds and weather patterns.This is the reason why the relatively small Hubble telescope performed so well compared to ground-based telescopes
