Apparently there are few space telescope James Webb (JWST, in English) begin their official performances. Until this moment comes, several tests are carried out. The most recent test JWST includes your skills in tracking space objects that are in motion. To do this, the space telescope followed the asteroid.

James Webb was good at stalking

Asteroid chosen for “the pursuit” from JWST was 6841 Tenzing, located in the asteroid belt and named after Tenzing Norgay, one of the first two people to reach the summit of Everest. choice 6841 Tenzing happened because the Scientific Institute of Space Telescopes in NASA i wish it James Webb track an object with a name associated with something successful, explained Brian Holler, Fellow of the Institute.

Tracking asteroids was also…successful. Your blog has NASA published that additional tests of this type will be carried out. After all, there are objects further away, moving at different speeds, and James Webb Space Telescope you need to succeed in all these observations. Also, operating temperature differences can affect the alignment of your mirrors and appliances.

Despite the ability to observe very distant objects, James Webb will play an important role in observing the outermost planets from the center of the solar system. Uranus and Neptune will be studied JWSTjust did not find out whether it will be in the first year of operation.

James Webb: years from production to release

project James Webb telescope was developed National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in collaboration with European and Canadian space agencies. Initially it was assumed that its launch will take place in 2007. But some problems delayed the launch of the model, one of them was the high cost of production of the James Webb telescope, which was increasingly increasing and back in 2005 made Engineers rethink the original design.

In 2016, the telescope was declared ready, but its project was again put on hold due to construction difficulties and remained so until 2019, when it was finally assembled. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been more delays until NASA finally scheduled for December 18, 2021 for release.

With it, researchers will be able to observe even more things from space, being able to see some of the oldest galaxies in the universe and other celestial bodies such as black holes.
