JWST
The James Webb Space Telescope will launch in 2018 to be the foremost space telescope of the next decade. With infrared imaging capabilities, it will see further back in time than previous telescopes to observe the formation of the first stars and galaxies as well as the evolution of planetary systems. The JWST's goals are to search for the earliest galaxies and stars, determine how galaxies evolve over time, observe star and planet formation, and examine exoplanets for potential habitability. It will accomplish these goals using a large primary mirror, instruments sensitive to infrared wavelengths, and the ability to detect highly redshifted light from the earliest objects in the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope is NASA's next flagship mission. Webb will revolutionize astronomy in the infrared like the Hubble Space Telescope has done for the visible portion of the spectrum over the last 22 years. Webb will reveal the story of the formation of the first starts and galaxies, investigate the processes of planet formation, and trace the origins of life.
Webb Launch Kit
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) will be the largest, most powerful telescope ever launched into space. It follows in the footsteps of the Hubble Space Telescope as the next great space science observatory, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough
discoveries in all fields of astronomy.
Webb will reveal the hidden Universe to our eyes: stars shrouded in clouds of dust, molecules in the atmospheres of other worlds, and light from the first stars and galaxies. With its suite of state-of-the-art instruments, Webb will push the frontiers of our knowledge of the Solar System, of how stars
and planets form, and of galaxy formation and evolution, in new ways.
The telescope will launch on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. From there it embarks on a month-long journey to its destination orbit around the second Lagrange point (L2), about one and a half million kilometres from Earth. In the first month after launch, Webb will unfold its sunshield, which is the size of a tennis court, and then deploy its 6.5-metre
primary mirror that can detect the faint light of distant stars and galaxies with a sensitivity a hundred times greater than that of Hubble.
JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large infrared telescope with a 6.5 meter primary mirror. It is an international collaboration between NASA, ESA, and CSA scheduled to launch in 2021. The JWST will be located in solar orbit approximately 1 million miles from Earth. It has a sunshield the size of a tennis court to shield its infrared instruments from the Sun, Earth, and Moon's heat. The JWST's goal is to study every phase of cosmic history, including the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang.

Gravity Probe
Gravity Probe B tested two predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity by placing gyroscopes in a polar-orbiting satellite to measure how the Earth warps space and time. It measured the geodetic effect of how the Earth warps local space-time and the frame-dragging effect of how the rotating Earth drags space-time around with it. The experiment required extremely precise gyroscopes that could maintain accuracy of less than 0.5 milliarcseconds per year to verify Einstein's predictions.

Astronomy - State of the Art - Telescopes
Telescopes help us learn about the universe by collecting more light than the human eye and seeing more detail. Larger telescopes collect more light and see sharper images, but the atmosphere limits ground-based telescope resolution. Telescope size has grown exponentially over time. Adaptive optics and interferometry allow telescopes to approach the theoretical resolution limit. While space telescopes avoid many atmospheric limitations, they are much more expensive to build and operate. The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy through high-quality images across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Telescopes & astronomy andie
There are many ways to view the universe beyond just visible light. Telescopes collect different wavelengths of light and energy, from optical to infrared, radio, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of telescope reveals different information and allows us to study different phenomena in the universe. The best locations for telescopes are high mountain tops for optical and infrared telescopes, and satellites in orbit for telescopes studying wavelengths blocked by Earth's atmosphere like x-rays and gamma rays. Advanced telescopes have allowed scientists to discover more about star and galaxy formation, black holes, and the early universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest optical telescope in space, its greatly improved infrared resolution and sensitivity allow it to view objects too early, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This is expected to enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
Goals: The James Webb Space Telescope is an infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity.
Launch Date: Dec. 25, 2021 | 12:20 UTC
Science Targets: Our Solar System | Beyond Our Solar System
Type :Orbiter
Agency: NASA
Webb will study every phase in the history of our universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the big bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own solar system. It will build on the Hubble Space Telescope's discoveries
JWST's primary mirror is a 6.5 m (21 ft.)-diameter gold-coated beryllium reflector with a collecting area of 25.4 m2 (273 sq. ft.). If it were built as a single large mirror, this would have been too large for existing launch vehicles. The mirror is therefore composed of 18 hexagonal segments which unfolded after the telescope was launched
JWST operates in a halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point, approximately 1,500,000 km beyond Earth's orbit around the Sun.
L2 is short-hand for the second Lagrange Point, a wonderful accident of gravity and orbital mechanics, and the perfect place to park the Webb telescope in space. There are five so-called "Lagrange Points" - areas where gravity from the sun and Earth balance the orbital motion of a satellite
Rigel Exoplanet Geologist
The next great objective in Space is the surface exploration of a planet orbiting a distant star.
The Robotic Interstellar GEologicaL probe, RIGEL, is designed to land on an exoplanet and roam across its surface. This will be a logical follow-on to space telescope surveys and flyby missions. The engineering challenge that this presents is one reason that the RIGEL project should be initiated promptly. The hurdles are immense, but the prize is worth the effort. For the first time in history, an explorer from the Earth will be able to walk about the surface of an alien planet. That explorer will be a machine, a proxy for mankind.
Besides geology, Rigel will also analyze any life on its target world. There are investigations that can only be conducted in-situ. For example, if there are plants which use stellar light (sunshine) as an energy source, the structure of their photosynthesizing pigment can only be determined by directly analyzing the plant structure.

The robots use fiber optics to collect light from millions of galaxies over time, allowing scientists to map the expansion of the universe and how dark energy has affected it. By observing the redshift and baryon acoustic oscillations of distant galaxies, DESI aims to provide the most detailed 3D map of the universe to date and answer questions about the nature and future of the accelerating expansion caused by dark energy.

Deep Space Wonders from Negev Desert
Michael Kalika captured images of deep space objects from his remote observatory in the Negev Desert of Israel. He used a variety of equipment including a 6-inch telescope, DSLR camera, and auto-guider to take long-exposure images of nebulae and galaxies. Through dedicated astrophotography, which requires driving long distances to dark sites and processing images, he was able to photograph objects like the Orion Nebula, Sculptor Galaxy, and Rosette Nebula.

James Webb Space Telescope- in search of our origin
A presentation about The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which will be launched in 2019. The presentation covers basic information about the telescope, its primary mirror, its orbit & the Sunshield. It also explains why the telescope will work in infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum and how it truly is an Engineering marvel.
Telescopes & Astronomy
There are many ways to view the universe beyond just visible light. Telescopes collect different wavelengths of light and energy, from optical to infrared, radio, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of telescope reveals different information and allows us to study different phenomena in the universe. The best locations for telescopes are high mountain tops for optical and infrared telescopes, and space for telescopes studying wavelengths blocked by Earth's atmosphere like x-rays and gamma rays. Advanced telescopes working together across the electromagnetic spectrum provide scientists with more complete data to understand the formation and evolution of the universe.
Space telescope
Space telescopes observe astronomical objects from above the Earth's atmosphere. They avoid problems like light pollution and atmospheric distortion that affect ground-based telescopes. A space telescope works similarly to ground-based telescopes but must account for its motion in orbit, using devices like gyroscopes and advanced tracking. Key instruments on space telescopes detect light from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths to study topics like dark energy and distant objects. Major space telescopes include Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, Herschel, Fermi, Planck, and the upcoming James Webb telescope.
Suborbital Opportunities for Students
This was a talk I gave at CU Boulder SEDs in Nov 2011 to showcase the variety and opportunities for student-run science and engineering experiments on suborbital platforms. The area of suborbital space is rapidly expanding and is set to change how we expand our use of technology for future science and exploration space missions.
Mars rover perseverence
Perseverance will search for signs of ancient life in Jezero Crater on Mars using several advanced instruments. It aims to collect and cache rock and soil samples to be returned to Earth for further analysis. The rover builds on previous Mars missions and is NASA's most sophisticated Mars rover yet, with improved mobility, sampling capabilities, and tools to assess habitability. Perseverance will also test technologies to produce oxygen on Mars in preparation for future human exploration.
James webb telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the successor to Hubble and the most powerful space telescope ever built. It has a larger mirror that allows it to observe fainter and more distant objects. One of its key goals is to study the early universe and formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. It will provide insights into the origins of the universe by observing the most distant objects. The JWST observes primarily in infrared and has instruments to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena, from exoplanets to distant galaxies.
Curiosity rover
The document summarizes a technical seminar presentation about the NASA Curiosity rover currently exploring the planet Mars. It provides details about the Mars Exploration Rover mission objectives of searching for signs of past water activity and environmental conditions favorable for life. It describes the Curiosity rover's launch, landing site in Gale Crater, size, instruments, power source, and ongoing exploration mission to study the chemistry, geology and potential habitability of Mars. In conclusion, the exploration has found evidence that Mars likely had a wet past and is helping scientists learn more about the Red Planet.
Global Security Playing Cards
This document discusses several projects being conducted by Los Alamos National Laboratory to advance space situational awareness and space-based science and technology. The projects include developing software to detect gamma-ray bursts, constructing a sky map of the solar system, and sending a supercomputer into space on the Cibola Flight Experiment. The document also mentions developing sensors for the Cassini spacecraft to study Saturn and developing models to better understand radiation belts and accelerating electrons in Earth's magnetic field.

Philosophy Capstone Defence
Nietzsche has a conception of culture that emphasizes unity of artistic style across all expressions of a people's life, plurality of expressions to allow different paths to perfection, and having a definite goal of producing genius. He views German culture as lacking these qualities. Nietzsche believes cultures should be assessed based on their productivity for human perfection, which he defines as exemplifying transcendence of our animal nature through figures like the philosopher, artist, and saint. Cultures are more valuable to Nietzsche the more they enable individuals to attain these high forms of human excellence.

A cosmic explosion: SN 2017cbv
This document discusses Type Ia supernovae and their importance for measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a white dwarf star exceeds its mass limit through matter accretion from a binary companion star and undergoes runaway nuclear fusion. Their relatively uniform brightness makes them useful "standard candles" to determine distances across the universe. The author details how light curves of Type Ia supernovae were analyzed from telescope data to determine distances. Precise distance measurements allow constraining the expansion rate of the universe and probing dark energy, making Type Ia supernovae crucial for understanding cosmology.
