Nasa will soon peek into the very depths of space

NASAThe James Webb Space Telescope has finally arrived at its long-envisioned place and will finally begin to explore the very beginning and end of the cosmos.

The spacecraft is now hovering at Lagrange Point 2 or LP2, which is about a million miles from Earth, facing its night side. He arrived there with a short drive and will stay there – as the advantage of Lagrange’s points is that gravity is nicely balanced, which allows objects to float there.

The space telescope took off from Earth 30 days ago and has been resisting ever since. But in another sense, the path was even longer: development first began in 1996, and its start was postponed several times.

Now that it’s there, scientists will start preparing the telescope. This will involve launching his instruments and fine-tuning the various mirrors that make up the telescope itself before the first images arrive in June.

As these images begin to arrive, NASA hopes to shed light only on the history of the cosmos and look at nearby galaxies to understand how stars form, what drives the motion of the universe, and whether other planets could host extraterrestrial life.

He will be able to do this by looking deep into space. When he does, he will be able to see the light coming from a time when the cosmos was much younger – so he will see the first stars and galaxies as they form.

The telescope will also be able to “smell” the planets, allowing it to understand their chemical composition. This could help characterize distant planets and allow scientists to better understand whether they can be habitable.

All this work is supposed to take years. Although the minimum time was set at five years, it all went so far that it used less fuel than expected – and engineers say it could save enough fuel for its work for about 20 years instead.
