"The sunshield is the one that has some risk to it, and we've certainly tried to concentrate on that," Mike Menzel, NASA's lead mission systems engineer, said in a briefing for reporters. Astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to image the warm dust around a nearby young star, Fomalhaut, in order to study the first asteroid belt ever seen outside of our solar system in infrared light. Chandra, named for Indian-American physicistSubrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, examines the X-rays. It's used for many NASA programs and is operated by the University of Hawaii. An AGN is an extremely bright region at the heart of a galaxy where a supermassive black hole exists. The 88 - inch telescope is seen to the left. The James Webb Space Telescope spotted NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions near the Milky Way, located in a dwarf galaxy called the Small Magellanic Cloud. NGC 5283 contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN. and mid-infrared light, right, from NASAs Webb telescope. Astronomers have gained a new understanding of the chaos that wreathes the bright star Fomalhaut with the help of the powerful. The unfurling of the thin, flexible sunshield, which has five layers, is what engineers have focused on in terms of thinking about potential problems that might crop up while deploying the telescope's key components. The thirdof NASA's four Great Observatories, Chandra is the world's mostpowerful X-ray telescope. Hubble Views a Beautiful Luminous Galaxy The lenticular galaxy NGC 5283 is the subject of this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. The James Webb Space Telescope observed massive belts of dust around a nearby star that suggest hidden planets are orbiting it. Webb Telescope Finds a Star Cloaked in 3 Rings of Ruined Worlds. We can get a glimpse of this elusive light show thanks to the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which observes the sky in gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light. Cosmic fireworks, invisible to our eyes, fill the night sky.
NASA TELESCOPE SERIES
In the first two weeks after launch, controllers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore will methodically send orders to the telescope, taking it through a series of steps that will unfurl its sunshield, which is the size of a tennis court, and unfold the "wings" of the large mirror. NASA's Fermi Captures Dynamic Gamma-Ray Sky in New Animation. A day after launch, it will release its high-gain antenna. Later today, it will use its small rocket engines to make a course correction maneuver. Minutes after separating from the Ariane 5 rocket, the spacecraft deployed its solar panel for power. Space Christmas Eve telescope launch has astronomers hoping for good tidings of great joy
