James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)


Recommended Posts

Webb also continues to uncover a bounty of distant, young galaxies

June 05, 2023 12:15PM (EDT) Release ID: 2023-12
With its large, light-gathering mirror and infrared sensitivity, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is uniquely suited to study galaxies that existed in the early universe, just a few hundred million years after the big bang. Just over one whole month of Webb’s observing time is devoted to the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES. JADES will peer deeply into the universe to study some of the faintest and most distant galaxies. Among the program’s first findings: Hundreds of galaxies that existed when the universe was less than 600 million years old, and galaxies that have undergone repeated bursts of star formation.
 
This infrared image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was taken for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, program. It shows a portion of an area of the sky known as GOODS-South, which has been well studied by the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories. More than 45,000 galaxies are visible here...
 
Using these and other data, the JADES team has discovered hundreds of galaxies that existed when the universe was less than 600 million years old. The sheer number of these galaxies was far beyond predictions from observations made before Webb’s launch.

They now discover a galaxy that existed just few million years after the Big Bang. Yet it takes around 500 million to a billion years to form one. Admit it scientists, this galaxy was existed before the Big Big Bang. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/james-webb-space-telescope-finds-182033811.html Jehovah is laughing at these scientists who strongly believe in this theory.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
From the ancient Greeks to Einstein, we have studied the stars to try and figure out our place in the cosmos. 
Our current understanding of the Universe — 95% of which is invisible to us — is woefully incomplete. 
 
Just 5% of the Universe is ordinary matter.
 
That’s the ordinary matter of everyday life: your hair and clothes, your atoms and organs, the food you eat and the dogs that kiss you, the air and the sea, the Sun and the Moon. Everything we know — everything we see — is just 5% of everything in the Universe.
 
The remaining 95% of the Universe is stuff that we can’t see, don’t yet understand. An extraordinarily vast portion of the cosmos is still unknown. Despite the technological advancements of the last century, even with computers at our fingertips and the worldwide internet and space-based observatories mapping the far reaches of our Universe, there is still so much that we don’t understand.

[There is so little evidence out there for life to spontaneously appear, so when they find something as minuscule as this, they applauded it as a momentous find. I find it humorous.]

Webb Makes First Detection of Crucial Carbon Molecule

 

June 26, 2023 11:00AM (EDT) Release ID: 2023-129

This molecule, never before seen in space, is believed to be a cornerstone of interstellar organic chemistry.

 

Carbon compounds form the foundations of all known life, and as such are of a particular interest to scientists working to understand both how life developed on Earth, and how it could potentially develop elsewhere in our universe. As such, the study of interstellar organic (carbon-containing) chemistry is an area of keen fascination to many astronomers.

 

An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to detect a carbon compound known as methyl cation for the first time. This molecule is important because it aids the formation of more complex carbon-based molecules. It was found in a young star system with a protoplanetary disk, 1,350 light-years away in the Orion Nebula.

I've ordered that at my local library. I'm first in line to read it when it arrives.
 
Remember folks, if there's a book you want to suggest to people, ask your library to get it. It's easier than convincing friends to buy a copy.

It appears that JWST has got them ( scientists) confused even further - its confusion at its crescendo

Before we called it science, it was called Alchemy. Alchemists kept their findings a secret from each other; like they were discovering magic spells. Alchemy never prospered, because each one had to figure out which combo was poisonous on their own. Usually by having someone drink it.

 

The whole point of science is to have other scientists check your work. That's why scientific findings are released to the world. When something lasts 40 years or so without being countered by another plausible theory, it's considered fixed and reliable. Then a whole new instrument like JWST comes along, and we figure out where we were wrong.

 

Some scientists wait for decades to find out if they were right or wrong about something. But that's still what science is meant to do.

Most of the time they do not want to be wrong because Jehovah is right. Oh, I forgot! Many of them do not believe in God.

[Here is a frank admission:

Spectacular Webb telescope image reveals things scientists can't explain

The powerful space observatory exposes cosmic unknowns.

By Mark Kaufman on July 1, 2023

 

It could be young, lively stars, way hotter than our medium-sized sun, emitting bounties of energy into space. Or, it's possible this ancient light was created by supermassive black holes, which are objects hundreds of thousands to billions of times the sun's mass and are usually found at the center of galaxies, like our Milky Way.

 

But this creates another question: "Where would those supermassive black holes have come from?" asked Pérez-González.

Webb Locates Dust Reservoirs in Two Supernovae

 

July 05, 2023 11:00AM (EDT) Release ID: 2023-115

 

Summary

 

The finding suggests supernovae are likely suppliers of dust to early, young galaxies.

Supernovae, the explosive deaths of stars, are some of the universe’s biggest bursts of energy and light. When they erupt, one supernova can shine even brighter than an entire galaxy...

 

The Webb observations are the first breakthrough in the study of dust production from supernovae since the detection of newly formed dust in SN 1987A with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope nearly a decade ago. 

 

Another particularly intriguing result of their study isn’t just the detection of dust, but the amount of dust detected at this early stage in the supernova’s life. In SN 2004et, the researchers found more than 5,000 Earth masses of dust.

Nice little video showing how far the JWST can zoom...

I wonder what if they build another telescope and set it at around 2 million milies out in space, then I wonder what would it see?

Webb Detects Most Distant Active Supermassive Black Hole to Date
 
Release date: Thursday, July 6, 2023 10:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
 
With Webb, a slew of other distant black holes and early galaxies also popped into view for the first time.
 
It’s a bonanza! The universe is absolutely teeming with black holes. Researchers have long known this, but less massive bla ck holes that existed in the early universe were too dim to detect – that is until the James Webb Space Telescope began taking observations. Researchers behind the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey are among the first to begin plucking these bright, extremely distant objects from Webb’s highly detailed images and data.

New 3D Visualization Highlights 5,000 Galaxies Revealed by Webb in CEERS Survey
 
Release date: Monday, July 10, 2023 11:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
 
This time they released a video...
 

Data shows Webb’s ability to image and identify thousands of galaxies at once.

The Space Telescope Science Institute’s Office of Public Outreach has released a new scientific visualization of data from the CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science) Survey. The video represents Webb’s exploration of the region known as the Extended Groth Strip, revealing many galaxies that have never been seen before. It displays a wealth of galaxies across the universe and concludes on Maisie’s Galaxy, which resides 13.4 billion light-years away from Earth.

A Researcher Says the Expansion of the Universe Is Just a Mirage. He Might Be Right.

As we continue the search for evidence of dark energy, one scientist proposes a radical new idea about what's going on in the cosmos.

It doesn't matter if is expanding or not. If Jehovah can count all the stars and name them too, makes me believe that the universe is a dot compared to Jehovah's in size.
