The James Webb Space Telescope, launched on Christmas Day two years ago, provides miraculous visions from the skies, including views of Jupiter, Carina Nebula, Phantom Galaxy, and the deepest regions of space. It is a successor to the Hubble Telescope, with massive gold-plated lenses capable of detecting infrared light.
The story of Christmas features a miraculous astronomical sight . But this Christmas , we're blessed with an abundance of new miraculous visions from the skies, courtesy of the James Webb Space Telescope , which lifted off on Christmas Day two years ago ... from Jupiter and its rings (a mere 385 million miles away), to the Carina Nebula (7,500 light-years away), the Phantom Galaxy (32 million light-years away), and the deepest regions of space (13 billion light-years away).
In 1989, NASA began thinking about a successor to the Hubble Telescope. The new machine would have massive gold-plated lenses that could detect infrared light – invisible to our eyes, but capable of passing through dust and gases, 100 times farther into the universe. The Webb would also be much bigger than the Hubble: three stories tall and 70 feet wide, too big to fit into any existing rocket. NASA's solution? Fold it up.Scott Willoughby oversaw the Webb's construction at Northrup Grumma
