James Webb Telescope

[Dustparticle]

This is going to launch on December 18, 2021. I wonder what new things they will find out about Jehovah’s Creation? We will find out in 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope

I’ve been really looking forward to the 1st images from the James Webb.. the Hubble photos have been breathtaking!

Webb often gets called the replacement for Hubble, but we prefer to call it a successor. After all, Webb is the scientific successor to Hubble; its science goals were motivated by results from Hubble. Hubble's science pushed us to look to longer wavelengths to "go beyond" what Hubble has already done. In particular, more distant objects are more highly redshifted, and their light is pushed from the UV and optical into the near-infrared. Thus observations of these distant objects (like the first galaxies formed in the Universe, for example) requires an infrared telescope.

Webb will observe primarily in the infrared and will have four science instruments to capture images and spectra of astronomical objects.

James Webb telescope will take us  way back in time. But, how far we do not know. Who knows what was before our universe was created? We know empty space was there before the universe because it need room to expand. 

 

 What is odd, we are only seeing the past. What is happening now in our universe is pure guess. Who is to say that our universe is spitting up to form an another universe?

Have anyone see this? It is an up dated one too.

Successfully launched this morning.

I love space. I can't wait to see the first pictures

A lot of people think of me James Webb as a successor to the Hubble when it comes to sending breathtaking pictures. We all know that it is tuned primarily to see in the infrared. That means that it can see red and orange, but green and blue are out of its range. So the pictures will be incredibly detailed, but not very colorful.

I saw it and I hope goes smoothly.

I know but I'm confident people will make it beautiful one way or another

It will take a month to get into its orbit. That is if every thing goes according to plan.

Some interesting info about 40 mins in 🤓

One of the missions of the telescope is to study dark matter and dark energy hoping to see back to the Big Bang.  Dark matter is what holds galaxies from flying apart and dark energy is what makes the universe expand according to their theory's.

What the Universe Tells Us

Quote

The universe is organized. “Galaxies are not randomly splayed out across the sky but instead follow a weblike pattern,” according to an article in Astronomy magazine. How is this possible? Scientists believe that the secret may lie in an invisible material known as dark matter. This dark matter has been called “a kind of unseen scaffolding upon which . . . galaxies, galaxy clusters, and galaxy superclusters . . . are aligned and supported.”

Hmmm...the dark side it is they seek...

If anyone would like to know more about this , it was featured on CBS 60 Minutes recently.   What I remember is the good-looking redhead scientist.

 

I also remember, now that I'm refocused,  she said what we know of the universe (all that we know) is about 10% of what's out there.  90% to go.

 

And the difference between the Webb and the Hubble is that there is no possibility of a repair mission for the Webb.  Nothing can go wrong, there is no room for any problems.  Actually,  the one other scientist said they could send orders for the Webb to 'shake itself' if necessary.  Scott Pelley said "You mean like I do when something doesn't work?  Shake it?"

 

The first images are expected in 6 months.

First ever image of the James Webb telescope...

 

Spoiler

 

A joke, I know. 😂

That would be awful

Can we call it the JW telescope?

🤣

Nothing!

And the word "before" doesn't apply as time itself was created also "in the beginning"

No, empty space is part of the Universe also

The Universe doesn't expand inside anything or into anything

 

Imagine a ruber band that stretchs and nothing more exists besides that rubber band... its more or less like that

Yes, we see only the past but we can conjecture what is there now based on what was there 13 billions years ago than 10 than 5 etc....

 

Basically we can see several stages of the Universe that allows us to predict what is it like now in those places that now are only seen in the past

Infrared doesn't mean that - red, orange, green and blue are all in the visible range of the spectrum (all the frequencies of the electromagnetic waves)

 

What it means is that, when a galaxy is "running away" from us it's light is shifted to the red portion of the rainbow (a portion of the full spectrum) - Doppler effect

 

The oldest galaxies, whish are the focus of the JWST have shifted so much that it's light is no longer in the visible spectrun and so can't be seen by any regular telescope

 

Saying that the JWST is tunned towards the infrared means that it will detect the frequencies that on that portion of the spectrum, whicjh are the oldest objects, the ones closer to the big bang

 

We can still see great colorful colors because this shifting can be adjusted and they can "colorize" the photos

I can say that it crossed my mind - I'm confident that what it will discover will be more faith strengthening for us than for the atheists (faith strengthening for them means becoming even more atheists)

 Hebrews 3:4 "Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God".

 

In order the universe (our home) to be created, you need the materials to make it. Just like a house, you need the materials to make a house in order to be one.

“Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing.

Can you give me the gist of it and how it relates to the sentence you quoted?
