is not new to astronomy, but exploiting the ability of massive objects to bend light will bring new insights with the telescope's sensitive instruments. Webb is optimized to look at the early universe, which is receding rapidly from us in infrared wavelengths.of space observations will greatly expand our catalog of early galaxies from"only tens" of objects to many more, said Rebecca Larson, a National Science Foundation fellow and Ph.D.
"Studying them can help us understand how they evolved into the ones like the galaxy we live in today, and also, how the universe evolved throughout time," Larson. She added she is looking forward to when Webb can create"deep fields" of a single spot in the sky, as
Amazing 😻
I learned something this week. I learned the reason Webb is IR is because light at the edge of the universe is in that frequency by the time it reaches us.
“Bending Light”…? Is there a Black Hole nearby? (That would cause a disruption in the Star System’s local gravity!) 🤔
Looking into space, gives us a different perspective about our life on earth. We realize we a just a speck in a second in time and soon what burdens us today, will be long forgotten as light & time passes. Creating a sustainable future is man's greatest accomplishment
