How it Works

The James Webb Telescope utilizes three Near-Infrared Cameras to photograph space. Two of them capture light, the other a combined camera and spectrograph. The camera captures Infrared emitted dust grains by having the dust absorb the light so it can become the focal point of the image, rather than a blockade. These images are then sent back using a radio transmitter and later colorized.

Development

Construction of the James Webb Telescope began in 2004, though, it was launched in December of 2021. The development of the telescope took 30 years to complete; from concept to completion. Over 20,000 people aided in the development of this telescope across various agencies. Through this process, new tocology was developed and made for the James Webb Telescope and its launch into space.

Discoveries

Various discoveries and advancements have since been captured by the James Webb Telescope since its launch into space. These advancements have made scientists and conspiracy theorists question and change their perception of their own view of our universe. 150 photographs have been captured that are 13.6 billion light years away from us.
