Watch: NASA displays the first high-resolution color image of space from the James Webb Telescope
The US space agency "NASA" has revealed the first high-resolution color image of the universe's galaxies that are not visible to the naked eye from distant space, as they were 13 billion years ago, and it is the first image displayed from the most powerful space telescope ever, which promises to reshape humans' understanding of the universe. and its beginnings.
The James Webb Telescope took nearly three decades to build and cost 10 billion US dollars
The image was captured in high-resolution detail that appears to humans for the first time, with the James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST ), as the bright light showed many different ancient galaxies in the vast space universe. US President Joe Biden, who unveiled the photo at a White House event, called the moment "historic", saying it opened a "new window into the history of the universe."
As for Bill Nelson, the director of NASA, he said that the image shows luminous nebulae of galaxies gravitating around other galaxies and traveling for billions of years before reaching the telescope. Commenting on the images from the space telescope, he said: "We are now looking back to more than 13 billion years," adding that more images that the agency will release will show further epochs, up to about 13.5 billion years, which is the point closest to the beginning of the universe itself, as scientists believe. "Soon we will reach the closest point to the beginning of the universe," Nelson said.
The discovery of this image from the James Webb Space Telescope is part of a series of high-resolution color images that will be shown by NASA starting today, Tuesday, July 12, which is expected to reveal the "deepest images of the universe ever captured." By giving humans an unprecedented opportunity to probe the details that have always been opaque, useful in understanding how stars and the atmospheres of planets outside the solar system, in addition to other important details about the oldest galaxies and their behavior.
What is the James Webb Telescope?
The James Webb Telescope took more than three decades to build, and was officially launched for the first time last year. It is the largest and most powerful space telescope currently in the world. It replaced the “Hubble” telescope, which astronauts relied on to explore the deep space universe before the completion of James Webb. Which is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe, thanks to its ability to provide detailed images of the universe based on infrared technology. The huge telescope consists of a gold main mirror, and highly complex parts capable of receiving infrared signals, which increases its ability to explore distant worlds in deep space even through cosmic dust. The supervisors of the project also hope that the telescope will help determine the atmosphere of exoplanets and monitor any presence of water or other forms of life on other distant planets, after the ability of the James Wait Telescope in the spectroscopy of distant objects and atoms.
The James Webb Telescope, which cost more than $10 billion to build and launch, is capable of giving humans unprecedented glimpses of exoplanets and observing some of the oldest galaxies in the universe using a system of lenses and prisms to discover the curved nebulae revealed by the spectrum. Infrared.
The James Webb Telescope is a joint project between NASA and the European Space Agency , and researchers have been developing it since the mid-1990s, before it was recently launched into space, in December last year. The telescope is described as the most powerful space telescope ever, and is currently located 1.6 million km from Earth, and continues its missions to survey and photograph ancient galaxies in space .
The initial goal of the James Webb Telescope project was to provide a mechanism that helps to see the first stars and galaxies that formed after the moment of the Big Bang , and it is one of the well-known theories developed by scientists to explain the origin of the universe, and therefore this super telescope can be considered one of the greatest engineering and scientific achievements of mankind recently. .
