As a science freak, I presented a project on the LIU annual science fair about a hot topic in physics nowadays. The topic was a new telescope that would replace all the telescope technologies and inventions. The name of this telescope is James Webb space telescope named after James Webb the developer of this telescope. This telescope is expected to outstand the famous hubble telescope with its ability to penetrate dust due to its reliance of infrared long wave radiation. This telescope has cost till now a fortune from the US government with a budget of 50 billion dollars due to the high cost of the 50 huge mirrors it is made up from and the metal beryllium for its body.
The launching of this telescope aims at the discovery of the evolution of the universe and to detect nearby galaxies. This mission was considered impossible in the past, will James Webb space telescope make it? or it will fail? We are waiting.
it's an important instrument , I'm very interested in astronomy and telescopes , i did a poster about telescopes and their types , but it's the first time i read about this telescope !! nice information :)
