Telescope Like a Time Machine
Hello and welcome to NASA Science Live.
I'm your host, Yogesh Bhamare.
One of the wonderful challenges of astronomy, we have to imagine something so we can look for it.
Nature has the way of being more creative than we are surprised by what we see in the slide.
That is why being this telescope has been attractive.
Every time we build a bigger one, we see something that we never imagined lout This is the next step in that race.
Today, we are going to be talking about a telescope that is life like a time machine.
The space telescope that is set to launch into space in the year 2021 to become the world's most powerful of space tele accept.
Complex and/or bit other star and will help to solve mysteries of our solar system and the place that we are in the universe.
Inside with our cameras where such a powerful telescope is being built.
So sit back and enjoy the first stop in our journey to understand the extremely and truly Extraordinary James Webb space telescope.
Protects the space telescope from particles that may come off. Redondo Beach and see the James Webb space telescope.
This is NASA James Webb space telescope Lescope was envisioned shortly after hub billion's phase of questions about our universe.
The spectrum of light and seek the light of those really early forming galaxies then try to answer questions about our universe.
What we are winning now is the two major half of the telescope being put together.
What is exciting about what is happening now?
Cop instruction, so above us, we got the portion of the telescope which is just integrated with the other bottom half.
The sun shield and e which is just below So let's continue on and coming along this side is the most spectacular view of this whole thing because you can see there are these 18 gold mirrors they are real gold.
The reason is that gold reflects infrared light the best.
The mysteries of our solar system and look to the d of long-distance stars then look at the structures then try to explain the origins of our universe, and no project like this could be done alone.
The internationalonal program, that is lead by space with the partners the European and Canadian space agency.
The James Webb space telescope brings us back to flop throb Grumman where NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine.
let's hear about what it like to see the fully assembled observatory in real life.
How does it feel to be next to this?
No, I, the James Webb telescopes the most complicated spacecraft has ever belt in a know people watching on tv or on the internet can see it behind us now.
Buy can also tell you, a picture does not do it justice.
When you are in the presence of the massive spacecraft and change how you perceive how complex important this particular mission is.
Spacecraft element and the scientific in detriment and now they have been put together, both physically and electrically in a way that was a lot of risks.
Different nations that have been involved in producing this magnificent telescope that is going to transform how we see the universe.
It Is as astrophysicists and seeing that first galaxy theheeheeirst stars that are out of the beginning of the many generations of stars that created our environment In time Space.
Focused on the outside of the solar system These American public enthused about space explorationn insidensideemanity at large.
It is the idea we could find life on worlds that are not our own.
That is what we're going to be space telescope and see those and make assessments.
There is water vaporer there is carbon dioxide?
That is exciting about what James wist going to help us do.
Has some of these planets that are through and going to such a super discovery.
Now, you look at the telescope, it is clear too! One who stands here.
This is the most complicated spacecraft that has been built in history. Hundred of moving parts that have to work which is why it is naum ber up with priority.
We have to get the moving parts working correctly. One million emails from the ether on the other side of the moon as a matter of fact.
Going to have access to it once it there is.
People forget.
Some of the technologies that were developed here already had an act on our lives, do you know exor sink your mine?
Impact surgery and classic eye surgery, for example, have benefited from the technology developed another James Webb space telescope.
These are spin-offs. There capabilities that this kind offfff activities on then they cannot be dismissed.
We railroad just about out of time.
Regards from Redondo beach.
To put the been my suit on and go inside and get close spectacular.
They are not allowed to touch the hard way, so we had a hardly skilled technithat do most of that.
Share with the kids and so we already had the opportunity to talk a little bit the actual James Webb tele accept.
What they will do, but amber, inquiring minds want to know.
what is the actual goal of this mission?
Well, it has a lot of goals and the goals are broad and they are and their telescope is dee-dee soon to be the successor the amazing Hubble space telescope.
As awesome as it is, there's a lot of ways to push it to the limits. Hubble and answer the biggest questions today.
Very first stars and galaxies born in the early universe and study planets within our own solar system and planets orbiting other stars outside of the solar system.
So we are talking about the in tire beat of the union stressor the backyard of the solar system all the way out to parts of space that we have never seen before amazing.
On the engineering side. What part of this time machine will support the actual science that amber spoke to us about?
James Webb is that it is extremely large with a very large main mirror.
The other interesting feature that enables Cyprians is extremely cold operating telescope.
We are to cool this telescope down to 50 or minus 380 degrees Fahrenheit for it to print and detect the wavelength of light that they are seeking and the infrared.
So it is trying to detect really, really, really, really tiny heat signatures for from the for away objects.
