A Telescope to Tell us Everything!

Have you always thought of the time machine as an impossible invention from science fiction films? Think again! Soon, we’ll be able to look back billions of years and witness the beginning of the universe itself!

The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is the future of space and time exploration. A joint effort between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), JWST really is an international triumph in teamwork.

They are getting it ready for its October 2018 launch date when it will depart for outer space, 1.5 million km from Earth, on the back of a huge rocket!

Scientists have used advanced techniques and technologies in the design of what will be the world’s biggest and best telescope.

This means it’ll be able to capture in detail things never before seen by humans; the first stars and galaxies! The structure will feature a folding, lightweight mirror of 18 separate segments as well as a massive spectrograph. This is a special instrument that measures light, wavelength and radiation. .. And, protecting all this equipment from the heat of the Sun will be a five-layer sunshield the size of a tennis court.

If the JWST is a success, it will allow astronomers from all over the globe to make incredible discoveries about the history and mysteries of the universe. For example, they’ll be able to determine how the stars, planets and solar systems first formed and what physical and chemical materials they consist of.

This amazing research opportunity will hopefully last a while because the Webb will be carrying enough fuel for a ten year mission. So, the past 13.5 billion years will soon await you: Get ready for the longest lesson of your life!
