James Webb Space Telescope's discoveries 2 years since launch

On Christmas Day 2021 the James Webb Space Telescope was blasted into orbit. In the two years since the telescope has performed like a champ, capturing phenomenal images of the heavens and collecting data about distant planets. Correspondent David Pogue reports on the spectacular findings we continue to receive from this remarkable eye on the universe.

Man the things we humans can do when we work together is amazing.

[@Styles1991]

But the things we do when working against each other is evil

True 😇

I actually interned at the Space Telescope Science Institute, as a high school incoming senior, last summer. It's impressive what they do and I love the atmopshere there. They would show us live new images being captured by Webb before they were released to the public. Such an amazing experience!

[@elitehacker1416]

That is impressive, communicating from the JWST. Just letting you know everything is going fine up here. 😂😂 Getting lonely, no aliens, thought about jumping but realized that wouldn't work. NASA didn't pack me a big enough lunch running out of food. Farewell my friends. It was nice talking to you. Once the images stop reaching earth you know I'm unalive. 😂😂😂 Oh what's my job up here you ask? Call me something like a window washer but not washing windows. I clean the important parts of the telescope that make the images pretty for you guys

[@nunyabiznez666]

SSSOOOO friggin amazing everything worked flawlessly after so many years of dedication to the truly awesome mission that is the JWST ❤🥳👽😁🤩

dang its been 2 years already??! aint no way!!

[@desmeisme]

These types of achievements is what makes humanity in pressive. Not normal everyday people but people who can think like this and have brilliance into creating something epic like this.

[@andromedanative6677]

Yes I remember this, live the look backs, so much gets forgotten.!

[@mrpearson1230]

I knew about the 10 but not 20yrs of service! Damn, I love it! I download every new JWST image that gets uploaded. Keep em coming!

[@Tyler_Owen23]

The first promise was 6-8 years. Often times NASA under promises missions like this so in case of early failure they don’t get egg on their face. In fact When the Hubble was launched in 91 they said it would have a lifespan of 10 years.. and now over 30 years later we are still using it. It’s a good strategy from a PR perspective.

[@JohnnyAstronomy]

@@Tyler_Owen23 Very true! Although the JWST does has an extreme limitation -- its onboard fuel to keep it in orbit. It was made with the ability to be refueled but as of now, we have no way of doing this.

[@techdefined9420]

The 20 year lifespan was only possible due the extreme precise orbit insertion by the Ariane 5. It was so precise that the solar panels unfolded directly after upper stage separation, because JWST knew it had perfect orbit parameters.

[@user-zq7xz5fu6w]

Bravo to all those men, women, and people who created that marvel. Truly making the world spin still

[@TheArfdog]

I would pay good money to take a college course on how this was engineered from start to finish.

[@maximusstorm1215]

There's a documentary about it and it is CRAZY. The surface of those gold plates are SO, SO smooth, you wouldn't believe. Like, the difference between a cue ball to the surface of those honeycomb shaped panels is like comparing carpet to buffed marble. I seem to remember that they're so flat, that if any part of them was something silly like a millionth the thickness of a strand of hair off, it wouldn't be good enough. I don't remember the exact figures, but it's insane how precise it all was.

[@richierich3194]

That's just cool

Why start out with a quote from a religion which murdered the dude who said the earth wasn’t the center of the universe?

[@Verge63]

[@aaa7189]

Visit ? We can't even make it to mars

[@mzple]

Yes we can lol. We sent a rover there for the first time in the 70s, humans will be on mars by 2039, or the mid 2040s at the latest.

[@aaa7189]

Really ? A one-way trip to the Red Planet would take about nine months. If you wanted to make it a round-trip, all in all, it would take about 21 months as you will need to wait about three months on Mars to make sure Earth and Mars are in a suitable location to make the trip back home. Then you have to be concerned about radiation, if something goes wrong they are toast@@mzple

[@lastChang]

Built to view its subjects chiefly in the infrared spectrum, Webb is about 100 times more sensitive than its 30-year-old predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, which operates mainly at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. - Space station, which China 🇨🇳 has just completed, is an outdated concept.

[@zeitgeistx5239]

Why you mad bro? Using China as a straw man for your anger.

[@Tyler_Owen23]

To be fair China is just starting up their space program. We have been going into space since the 50’s. China has to start somewhere, they can’t just leapfrog the west. It takes decades of practice and effort to get this stuff right.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

IN THE INTEREST OF FINDING THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING: SOME THINGS MODERN SCIENCE DOES NOT APPARENTLY KNOW: Consider the following: a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. (And nobody as of yet has been able to show me how numbers and certain mathematical constants can come from the Standard Model Of Particle Physics). b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually warp and expand. c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually warp and vary. d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. And for those who claim that 'gravity' is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see 'b' and 'c' above. e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also warp, expand and vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can warp, expand and vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could warp, expand and vary in actual reality? f. Photons: A photon swirls with the 'e' and 'm' energy fields 90 degrees to each other. A photon is also considered massless. What keeps the 'e' and 'm' energy fields together across the vast universe? And why doesn't the momentum of the 'e' and 'm' energy fields as they swirl about not fling them away from the central area of the photon? And electricity is electricity and magnetism is magnetism varying possibly only in energy modality, energy density and energy frequency. Why doesn't the 'e' and 'm' of other photons and of matter basically tear apart a photon going across the vast universe? Also, 'if' a photon actually red shifts, where does the red shifted energy go and why does the photon red shift? And for those who claim space expanding causes a photon to red shift, see 'b' above. Why does radio 'em' (large 'em' waves) have low energy and gamma 'em' (small 'em' waves) have high energy? And for those who say E = hf; see also 'b' and 'c' above. (f = frequency, cycles per second. But modern science claims space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary. If 'space' warps and expands and/or 'time' warps and varies, what does that do to 'E'? And why doesn't 'E' keep space from expanding and time from varying?). g. Energy: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. Hence, energy is either truly a finite amount and eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. First Law Of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." How exactly is 'energy' eternally existent? h. Existence and Non-Existence side by side throughout all of eternity. How?

[@charlesbrightman4237]

@@loskevanos Well, 'if' my current TOE idea is correct, it can potentially answer all those items above, and more. Plus also consider what follows the TOE idea: TOE Idea: Short version: (currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test): The 'gem' photon is the eternally existent energy unit of this universe. The strong and weak nuclear forces are derivatives of the electromagnetic ('em') interactions between quarks and electrons. The nucleus is a magnetic field boundary. 'Gravity' is a part of electromagnetic radiation, gravity acting 90 degrees to the 'em' modalities, which of course act 90 degrees to each other. PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS: Potential completion of the Periodic Table of the Elements: I currently believe that there are 120 chemical elements in this universe. If a person were to look at how electrons fill up the shells in atoms: 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 8 (seven shells), and realizing that energy could freely flow in this universe if nothing stopped it from doing so, then a natural bell shaped curve might occur. An eighth energy shell might exist with a maximum of two elements in it, chemical element #119 (8s1) and chemical element #120 (8s2). Chemical Element #119 (8s1): #119 I put at the bottom of the Hydrogen group on the Periodic Table of the Elements. It only has one electron in it's outer shell with room for only one more electron. Energy might even enter the atom through the missing electron spot and then at least some of the energy might get trapped inside of the atom under the atom's outer shell. Chemical Element #120 (8s2): #120 I put at the bottom of the Helium group since it's outer shell is full of electrons. It might have some of the properties of group two, Beryllium group (Alkali Earth Metals group) since it has two electrons in it's outer shell; as well as some of the properties of the Helium group (Noble Gases group) since it's outer shell is full of electrons; and if you look at the step down deflection of the semi-metals and where #120 would be located on the chart, it's possible #120 might even have some semi-metal characteristics. #120 would be the heaviest element in this universe. I believe chemical element #120 could possibly be found inside the center of stars. When a neutron split inside of this atom, it would give off one proton, one electron, neutrinos and energy. The proton and electron would be ejected outside of the atom since all their respective areas are full. One proton and one electron are basic hydrogen, of which the Sun is primarily made up of, and the Sun certainly gives off neutrinos and energy. And note, it's the neutron that split, not a proton. So even after the split, there are still 120 protons inside of the atom and the atom still exists as element #120. The star would last longer that way. In addition, if the neutron that split triggered a chain reaction inside of the star, this could possibly be how stars nova, (even if only periodically). If stars were looked at as if this theoretical idea were true, and found to even be somewhat true, then we might just have a better model of the universe to work with, even if it's not totally 100% true. And if it's all 100% true, then all the better. (Except of course for those who might be in the way of a periodic nova or supernova. They might have a no good, very bad, horrible day.)
