World largest and most powerful James Webb Telescope

 Scientists have so far sent a number of largest and most powerful telescopes such as Hubble telescope into space to study the latest discoveries in space.James Webb Telescope World largest and most powerful telescope launched in space a million kilometers away, the largest mirror is now fully open and the telescope is now ready to focus. Which is curved on the inside and has a diameter of 6.5 meters.

At the start of the mission, the mirror was twisted like a folding table. According to experts, the James Webb Telescope(World largest and most powerful telescope) will now be able to explore parts of the universe that were not yet possible.

 Scientists want Now with the help of this observatory they can understand the events that took place 200 million years after the Big Bang. Experts want to see the first stars that illuminate the universe.


The telescope's "big eye" has been trained in such a way that it can observe the atmosphere of distant planets. Lee Feinberg, head of the team that installed the mirror of the James Webb Telescope at NASA, said the telescope would amaze people.

He added that the James Webb Telescope is so powerful that it will provide a wide range of new information wherever we look at it. Prepared on It took almost 30 years to design and manufacture.

Being a successor of Hubble telescope this is also now world most powerful and biggest telescope ever made by scientists. 

The Hubble Telescope is optical, while the James Webb Telescope is for infrared light. Hubble is nearing the end of its operational life. There were various stages of its installation, including the deployment of a kite-shaped sunshield (the size of a tennis court) which was as expected.According to scientists and researchers this is one of the greatest achievements made by humans in field of the space exploration and development of space related machines.

The control team operating it is at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. The deployment was completed by fluttering the two wings of the central mirror 90 degrees. A message sent from the sky by the telescope confirmed that the telescope panels were locked in place. "We have fully deployed the James Webb Space Telescope observatory," said Carl Starr, the mission's operations manager.


The first two weeks were very good, according to Bill O'Shea, program manager for the James Webb Telescope at NASA. Thomas Zabarchan says that the world has never seen such a telescope before and it will find out about things that we do not know about till now. One of the most difficult deployments in space. Work on its design continued for decades, and its advanced engineering yielded impressive results, but the actual power of the observatory will not be known until next summer when the first images will be taken and sent to Earth.

Not only will the scenes be amazing, but it will also give us answers to some of our biggest questions. There are still stages of preparation before taking pictures of the universe. The first thing to do is to let it cool down a lot. It is designed to work in infrared (ie, red rays that are invisible to the naked eye).


When the wavelength of the waves is high, we will see big stars shining. Until this telescope is brought to low temperature, the energy emitted from it will continue to obscure the finest signals. The big kite of the telescope. The shadow emitted from the Nima Sunshield will raise the temperature of telescope instruments to minus 230 degrees Celsius. In the same way, all four scientific instruments will be able to work with the necessary sensitivity.

Experts will soon begin to evaluate their performance as soon as they become active. They have to arrange the 18 six-cornered sections in the central mirror in such a way that the reflecting surface becomes uniform. Each section is equipped with a motor that can be rotated up or down, right or left, to get them to the right place. These steps can take several months. According to one estimate, images from the James Webb Telescope are unlikely to be received by the end of July.
