James Webb Telescope

The James Webb telescope launched on 25th of December 2021 at exactly 12:20 Eastern  Time the space rocket (Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket) lifted off from earth facing the space,  marking a new beginning for space exploration; thus ending the three decade old Hubble  telescope’s tenure. The James Webb telescope became fully operational until July 11, 2022. This  telescope is more futuristic than its predecessors, including a more advanced mirror to reflect  light to observe infrared light, as well as, the distance and the time period that the James Webb  telescope will and can see. The James Webb telescope cost ten billion dollars and took twenty  years of construction for it to become operational. The James Webb telescope orbits much  differently than The Hubble telescope, James Webb orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.5 million  km, making it almost impossible to be repaired, by engineers and astronomers. The first Image  captured by the James Webb telescope released by NASA on July 11, 2022 caught the media  attention pretty quick. The image is a very high 4k resolution picture needing many GB of  storage to be downloaded fully, the James Webb telescope captures more than 50 GB of storage  to capture data and images per day. The James Webb telescope should be operational for at least  10 years but the lack of technology to repair it in the future might bring an end to this 10 billion  dollar telescope.
