James Webb Telescope's just SHOCKED by Hubble's new images...but Webb's even CRAZIER
James Webb continues to strongly dazzle as it completed stage six of its seven-step set-up process ahead of schedule.
Well, only one step left and we will see the first sharp images of million-year-old galaxies in space!
It’s really worth waiting for!!!
Besides that, Webb’s predecessor - the Hubble - is still making record-setting discoveries.
The aging space telescope capturing an exceedingly old star—the oldest, indeed, that’s ever been detected!
It seems we were right to invest billions of dollars in these machines!
Now, what more can we expect from them?
Let's find out the answer in today's Great SpaceX episode!
The commissioning stages of the James Webb Space Telescope just ticked off yet another phase.
According to NASA reported on April 1, Engineers have successfully aligned all but one of the instruments on the $10 billion space telescope for the first time as Webb continues to cool to deep-space temperatures after launching on Dec. 25, 2021.
The agency also revealed in this post that the operations team here on Earth is calling it a day as far as the sixth stage of Webb’s commissioning process goes.
Now, they are ready to move on to the seventh and final step of getting the telescope ready for science — once the instruments cool to their operating temperatures, that is.
The announcement puts Webb slightly ahead of schedule — Ball Aerospace scientist and Webb team member Chanda Walker said in a statement that the efficiency came as a pleasant surprise.
“As a general rule, the commissioning process starts with coarse corrections and then moves into fine corrections. The early secondary mirror coarse corrections, however, were so successful that the fine corrections in the first iteration of Phase Six were unnecessary.”
Well, that would be the Mid-Infrared Instrument or MIRI, the final instrument to be aligned. MIRI needs to cool to a chilling minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit (7 Kelvin) for normal operations. That process will take weeks, even in the cold dark of space.
When MIRI cools down, the telescope will enter its seventh commissioning stage, the final milestone before the instruments come fully online.
The Webb team will make the "final mirror alignment adjustments to ensure all 4 instruments are aligned.
