The world's most advanced and largest space telescope "James Webb" has been launched into space to be launched into orbit.
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched by the European Space Agency's Coro Space Port French Guiana, France, into space 1.5 million kilometers from Earth via the Aryan Five rocket, which is four times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
The James Webb Telescope is a 10 billion joint venture between the US space agency NASA, the European space agency Aisa and the Canadian space agency CSA.
The project took 30 years to complete and is being hailed as one of the largest scientific projects of the 21st century.
Scientists hope that the James Webb Telescope will be able to find in space the stars that first appeared in the universe 13 billion and a half years ago.
The giant space telescope will also try to see parts of the universe that are beyond the reach of the Hubble Telescope.
The James Webb Telescope will be able to find evidence of life by examining the atmosphere and gases in distant planets.
To reach space, James Webb will have to make a 27-minute controlled blast-like journey.
About 30 minutes after the rocket launches, it will have to go through 344 critical moments that could affect its capabilities.
Bill Nelson, the administrator of the US space agency NASA, says that there is a big risk involved in making a big profit.
The James Webb Space Telescope will use the largest astronomical mirror ever sent into orbit with a diameter of 6 and a half meters. It will take about two weeks for this astronomical mirror, as big as a tennis court, to fully open.
Dr. Amber Nicole Stron, an astronomer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, says the telescope will be able to detect many of the questions we haven't even thought about.
Once the telescope reaches space, it has a difficult system to open, after which it will take months to cool down, adjust the astronomical mirrors, and turn on the instruments.
The James Webb Telescope will replace the Hubble Telescope launched into space for the first time in history, which was launched into space by NASA in 1990.
The James Webb Telescope will try to see parts of the universe that even the Hubble Space Telescope could not see.
When the Hubble Telescope was launched into space in 1990, scientists discovered that the universe is 13.8 billion years old and that the universe is not only expanding but also expanding. The discovery was also awarded the Nobel Prize.
Hubble telescopes have shown that galaxies have very large black holes in their center and that planets exist outside our solar system.
James Webb's astronomical mirror is many times larger than Hubble's. It has a greater ability to collect light, which means it can travel farther back in time than Hubble.
NASA says the telescope will be able to look into the past and see the first galaxies in the early universe.
Dr. Amber Nicole Stron says that scientists have planned for the first year observations using the James Webb Space Telescope. This telescope will observe everything between space and time.
The James Webb Telescope project cost billions of dollars more than the years delayed and estimated. Demands were made several times to cancel the project, but the scientists persisted
