Understanding the James Webb Space Telescope Mission in One Minute The James Webb Space Telescope, a new flagship of space observation, will be launched on December 18 since Kourou, Guyana. After a 29-day journey, it will reach Lagrange point L2, in the opposite direction to the Sun. With its mirror larger than that of Hubble, of which it is considered the successor, the JWST will be able to observe galaxies, planets, nebulae and stars to learn more about the history of the Universe.
Saturday, December 25, 1:20 p.m. city time, this is the expected time for the ignition of the Vulcain engine and the powerful powder acceleration stages of the Ariane 5
who will carry the space telescope
James-Webb through the atmosphere. It is the largest space telescope ever designed. This technological feat will be kicked out of the
orbit
terrestrial to turn around the Sun in order to observe the universe in L’ infrared, ideal wavelength for observing cold objects in the universe such as exoplanets, and for seeing even further afield to the confines of the observable universe.
To cover this event historical, Futura and Cosmonium put one more gift under your tree
. An exceptional program will be to be followed live this Saturday, December 25 from 12:30 p.m. Nathan Le Guennic , intervenor of the Cosmonium community will present all the challenges of the mission, the details of the telescope and the rocket, and will answer all your questions!
The program will also be available on the pages Facebook
of Futura and Futura in
stars , as well as on the string Twitch
from Futura.
