*Unveiling the Universe with the Webb Telescope*
*Nathalie Nguyen-Quoc Ouellette - Universidad de Montreal, Canadá*
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the successor of the famous Hubble
Space Telescope, has finally launched and has started doing science! The
Webb Telescope, a 6.5m infrared telescope, is without a doubt one of the
most complex machines ever built by humanity and the largest telescope ever
sent to space. Thanks to Webb, we now have the capacity to see farther than
ever in our Universe, peer through the cosmic dust sprinkled throughout
galaxies and discover and study new alien worlds. This project is an
international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency and the
Canadian Space Agency. In addition to contributing the FGS/NIRISS
instrument, Canada and its astronomers are already some of the first to use
the telescope and have already begun producing groundbreaking science
thanks to its revolutionary data. As the first few images and bits of data
start to trickle in, you will learn about some of Webb's very first
exciting discoveries and what this mission means for the future of space
astronomy.
