This video is a 3D visualization of galaxies observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES. This visualization includes 9,500 galaxies from a...

An interesting view on how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) empowers innovation affecting daily lives in addition to the awe-inspiring images that give us insight into the origins of the universe: https://lnkd.in/gQTmvuu7

🚀 Exciting News from Space! 🚀 The James Webb Space Telescope has once again shattered records by detecting the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0, seen as it was just 290 million years after the Big Bang. To put that in perspective, if the Universe is 13.8 billion years old, we are observing this galaxy when the cosmos was only 2% of its current age! We are incredibly proud that NIKKEN played a crucial role in the manufacturing process behind the James Webb Space Telescope. Our world-leading Multi-Lock Milling Chuck was used to help manufacture the 18 hexagonal segments of Webb's giant 6.5m-wide primary mirror. With an impressive 80-85% taper contact, exceeding the AT3 standard, our technology ensures increased accuracy, reduced spindle motor load, and enhanced sustainability by consuming less energy. This achievement underscores the importance of precision and innovation in advancing our understanding of the universe. 🌌✨ #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #Astronomy #Innovation #Manufacturing #NIKKEN #SpaceExploration #Sustainability #TheSpiritOfInnovation

✨ 1,300 light-years away from Earth A new image → from the James Webb Space Telescope of the Serpens Nebula shows aligned jets from forming stars, supporting the theory that star clusters spin in the same direction. This image, capturing never-before-seen "protostellar outflows" in the top left, provides direct evidence of the fundamental processes involved in star formation. https://lnkd.in/e-uUDCps

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a highly advanced observatory developed by NASA, ESA, and CSA. Scheduled for launch, JWST promises to revolutionize space exploration by offering unprecedented capabilities to study the universe. With its advanced technology, including a segmented mirror and infrared detectors, JWST aims to delve deeper into cosmic phenomena, from the formation of stars and galaxies to the search for habitable exoplanets and understanding dark matter and dark energy. Its deployment heralds a new era in astronomy, poised to uncover groundbreaking discoveries and expand our understanding of the cosmos. https://lnkd.in/etDnGTgZ #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #spacenews

“Together, these potential configurations form the Lagrange points, which the current state-of-the-art James Webb space telescope (satellite) takes advantage of. See, all that effort does amount to valuable scientific progress.” — @Walking_Temple The Fascinating Story Of The Three-Body Problem A journey through centuries of scientific progress! Hemanth #dRPC #dDESC #dEDUD "After the advent of computational power, we were able to turn this problem into a “search” problem, where we search for potential stable three-body configurations in the entire sample space. This led to further stable configurations, which helped us understand our universe further" https://lnkd.in/e-pmr4ge

ANGULAR RESOLUTION https://lnkd.in/gTgzPWBu This term refers to sharpness of image. With normal "20/20" vision, you can read letters 1 cm high at a distance of 10 meters. But with the Hubble Space Telescope, you could read letters 1 cm high at a distance of 12 km -- 1200 times farther! We characterize the angular resolution by the smallest angle, q, that can be discerned in an image. For an eye with 20/20 vision, the angular resolution is q = 1 arcminute (1/60th of a degree). The HST has an angular resolution q = 0.05 arcseconds, 1200 times sharper.

The immensity of the Andromeda Galaxy A close-up image of our neighbor Andromeda, where each dot in the image is a star. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, it is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of this large galaxy. The full image contains 1.5 billion pixels and would span more than 600 HD television screens! Astronomers estimate that the Andromeda galaxy contains about a trillion stars, at least twice as many as our own Milky Way. Original ESA/Hubble image.

What can you learn about exoplanets by creating an "artificial" eclipse? Turns out, a lot! Swipe through to learn about the history of coronagraphs and how JPL's Roman Coronagraph Instrument, which is being built as a technology demonstration for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, could vastly increase the number of planets outside our solar system that scientists can directly observe.

Young Star Cluster NGC 1333 This spectacular mosaic of images from the James Webb Space Telescope peers into the heart of young star cluster NGC 1333. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, the nearby star cluster lies at the edge of the large Perseus molecular cloud. Part of Webb's deep exploration of the region to identify low mass brown dwarf stars and free floating planets, the space telescope's combined field of view spans nearly 2 light-years across the dusty cluster's turbulent stellar nursery. In fact, NGC 1333 is known to harbor stars less than a million years old, though most are hidden from optical telescopes by the pervasive stardust. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago. Copyright:
