Look back in time with James Webb
9 February 2024
"Unknown: Cosmic Time Machine"

In this movie, you will see the hard work and the process of how amazing the James Webb telescope was built. It also tells you that it had 344 single point failures, which means if you encounter any of the single point failures, you're gonna lose the mission. It seems impossibly difficult to do such great work, with so much possibility of failure.

Jane's Webb telescope was an old mission, which was initiated when the Hubble Space telescope was pointed for many days at an empty point in space. And what turns out to be after that, was truly amazing and spectacular. Afterwards, Hubble took many images of distant galaxies and stars and other constellations.

So they decided to make James Webb, which also got some criticism later on. Also it had to have a high budget, of billions of dollars, to make it happen.

After all, it was launched in 2021, and it deployed very well in space, where it was placed at L2 point, L2 point has a balance of earth's and sun's gravitational force. And this point is around one million miles from earth, which equals more than 1.5 million kilometres.

I love the fact that how easily we can see back in time and how far we can see back in time, this is awesome man.

The farther you look, the farther you look back in time, because light takes time to travel through space.
