Understanding James Webb Images: Color, Curves and Spikes
The last few days were great for science. We got some very beautiful, information-packed images from deep space. All thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Not seen the images yet? The image you see above is at a distance of 4.24 billion light years away from us! And the age of our planet is […]
Challenges with Space Telescope
In the previous part of this Space Telescope Series, we discussed about the basic principle on which James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is based i.e. Infrared astronomy. Today we will discuss the challenges faced in launching space telescopes keeping in mind JWST in particular and space telescopes in general. Size : How to fit it […]
James Webb ST & Infrared astronomy
The Universe is full of radiation of all types but most of this does not reach us here on Earth because our atmosphere blocks out many wavelengths of radiation, but permits others through.
James Webb & Hubble Telescope
NASA launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on December 24. JWST will succeed the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA’s flagship telescope that has been in service for more than three decades.
China National Space Administration
We have discussed about the significant works done by NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, ISRO, and JAXA. In this article, we will discuss about China National Space Administration (CNSA), its journey, and its achievements. China’s space program evolved largely in secret under the joint control of the Chinese military and the Commission on Science, Technology, and Industry […]
