looking to the past with James webb telescope

Have you seen stars in the sky? What do you think of when looking at a star? Perhaps all you can think of is, the stars in the sky are very far away and there is no way we can go there.

But, in fact the stars in the sky are not only far away. Stars in the sky are thousands of years, even millions of light years. That means, the starlight in the sky comes from thousands of years ago. So the light we see is light that comes from the past.

For hundreds of years, astronomers have been researching stars in the sky using telescopes. In general, telescopes used are optical telescopes, which have very limited capabilities. Along with the development of the era, telescopes continue to improve technology until its ability continues to increase.

The development of telescopes is not just telescopes on the surface of the earth, but until the telescope in space. In the eighties, scientists made the hubble hubble space hubble telescope, to be placed in orbit around the earth. Placement of telescopes in orbit around the earth, aims to avoid the light pollution that exists in the earth's atmosphere.

Hubble is an infrared telescope, with much better capabilities than the optical telescopes on earth. Hubble has been instrumental in helping scientists for decades, to date. But despite having much better capabilities than telescopes on earth, but the ability of the hubble telescope range, it is still lacking to see the first light in the universe.

To overcome the weaknesses of hubble telescopes, scientists have set up replacement telescopes with better capabilities than hubble. This telescope is a telescope james webb. James Webb has many technological advantages over its hubble, James Webb will be placed in orbit farther from the moon's orbit. It aims to avoid the james web instrument from solar and earth radiation.

James webb has a much larger mirror than hubble, so james webb can collect far more light. To block solar radiation, james webb comes with a protective screen with a kite-like shape.

With the creation of this James webb telescope, scientists hope to be able to see further into the past, and see the first light. Thus the mystery of universe can pitch solve.
