Scientists Reveal Why They’re Worried About James Webb Telescope’s SUPER COOLING?

It has been over 3 months since the most powerful telescope ever made was launched. Although this time-traveling machine took 25 years and about 10 billion dollars, it was finally finished and launched on 25 December 2021.

After several months of sky maneuvering, the James Webb Space Telescope has finally reached L2 Lagrange Point from which it will be able to provide us with pictures of the early universe. This spot is the ideal location as multiple gravitational forces are balanced out to allow the James Webb Telescope to orbit with minimum fuel consumption. Speaking of which, even though the telescope was originally supposed to have enough fuel for 10 years of operation, due to the efficient launch, the JWST has about 20 years.

MIRI works at -267 Celcius, not -260, please verify the facts before recording. This is below 7 Kelvin and such temp was reached about a month ago and is being perfectly stable ever since. So far so good.

Let's ask YouTube viewers on their opinions about the cryocooler remaining reliable. This video is clickbait.

With AI and robotics now days I don’t understand why we can’t build something to service and refuel it ?

[practicalengineering]

In future a telescope should be placed outside our solar system . If that happens miracle informations will be achieved by us ...

[titolino]

This is again a new level of upload... It can go wrong but maybe not... Thanks... Really thanks

[silverXnoise]

Jesus, Earth must be *enormous* to be that large from where JWST is!

[marktwain]

Just because it can't be serviced at present, doesn't mean we won't EVER be able to do so!

[xtevetyler]

In 2042 technology may we'll allow us to re fuel the jwst or maybe put up better?

[hazelnuts]

All we want are some good pictures from James webb, is it too much to ask? We have been waiting for such a long time.

[billferner]

Why don't you give the temperature in Kelvin, as usual at low temperatures in astronomy?

[tuberhead]

Again with the tennis court. I hoped we were past that.

We have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best that the cryogenic probe keeps working perfectly, to the limits of its design parameters. However in the hostile and harsh environment of space it's anybody's guess how long it will continue functioning properly. My personal guess is that it will work flawlessly for about a year and after that every passing year will be a bonus.

ARE THEY HIDING NEW INFO ON THE UNIVERSE ??

[Waterfront]

They should make a spaceship that can dock with the telescope so that astronauts can fix and upgrade it, like they did with Hubble. I know its farther away but I don't think is it impossible.

You worry be cause you like the end of the coming is near👽

[shdwbnndbyyt]

Hopefully this telescope will be far enough away that it will not be affected by the ~2.7 K hydrogen bond radiation signal from the earth's oceans as are the satellites orbiting the earth. Most of the other satellites protect themselves from the main water radiation signals (any wavelength a molecular bond can absorb they can also radiate) bu facing away from the earth, but they get their reference point data for the universal background from just above the horizon of the earth, which has been proven over and over again to be overwhelmed with the hydrogen bonding signal from liquid water in other experiments. But the space scientists keep ignoring these studies as it messes with their paradigm of the universe.

[boblarsen]

Have you heard about the plans for refueling? There are plans to figure out how to do figure it out in the next couple decades.

[philipcallicoat]

We have depleted and polluted our own planet...
I'm not doubting that our species will treat any planet besides our Earth any different...(provided we can get there.)

The chance that the JW Webb telescope makes it through ten years of uninterrupted use must be quite low. The mirrors alone must be expected to be subjected to daily incidental bombardment of micro-meteors, if the ISS is any indication of JW's fate. Not sure they'd want to refuel the instrumentation, but I'd bet money Elon could do it if they really wanted to, and for much less than a billion. I'd even go so far as to say he'd throw in a new telescope 10 times larger for a billion more, and with plug and play modular design. Not exactly sure what the benefit was of putting it so far removed from earth. Seems to me for 20 billion they could have built a gigantic Dyson sphere space station that could perform a hundred other things which included maintaining a shielded and manned Webb telescope for the next hundred years, and located it a helluva lot closer to mother earth.
