Jane Rigby Biography Webb Telescope/NASA

The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called Webb or JWST) is a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror. Webb will be the premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide.

The best of both worlds 🎸

Recognize the Pillars of Creation? Webb’s near-infrared and mid-infrared images of this super star-forming region were fused to highlight new details: https://bit.ly/3P5uzT3

Webb’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam) contributes thousands of baby stars, while its mid-infrared instrument’s (MIRI) contributions are clearest in the layers of diffuse, orange dust draping the top of the image.

A Titan-ic success!

Here is Webb’s first look at Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Because Titan has a dense atmosphere, its surface is hidden in visible light. Enter Webb’s infrared eye, which captured clouds as well as bright & dark patches on its surface: https://go.nasa.gov/3FijpXN

Webb, Keck Telescopes Team Up to Track Clouds on Saturn’s Moon Titan – James Webb Space Telescope

#jameswebb

The 2 clouds seen by Webb validate long-held predictions that clouds form in the northern hemisphere during Titan's late summer, when the Sun warms its surface. Follow-up observations by the Keck Observatory also revealed clouds, confirming seasonal weather patterns.

Hang out long enough and you start to become each other…just ask these galaxies.

In Webb’s latest image, two galaxies in the process of merging are twisting each other out of shape. Bright tendrils of star-forming regions connect their glowing cores: https://go.nasa.gov/3OSovNB

Here are complementary Hubble & Webb views of this galactic pair. While Hubble shows the merger in visible light, Webb’s image shines in infrared. The star-forming regions in the galaxies are particularly bright in infrared light. Slide between both views: https://bit.ly/3FfdZwT

A 5-for-1 #BlackHoleFriday deal? Shown here is Stephan's Quintet. While the five galaxies are the focal point, this Webb image also reveals outflows driven by a supermassive black hole in one of the galaxies in never-before-seen detail: https://go.nasa.gov/3F4Fvgy

NASA’s Webb Sheds Light on Galaxy Evolution, Black Holes

The new image of galaxy group "Stephan's Quintet" from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows in rare detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation in each other and how gas in galaxies is being disturbed.

Webb’s latest data gives us the first molecular and chemical profile of a distant world, gas giant WASP-39 b. This bodes well for its ability to probe the atmospheres of small, rocky planets like in the TRAPPIST-1 system: https://go.nasa.gov/3i3Tlql

👇 WASP-39 b is an old friend! In August, Webb showed the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide in a planet outside our solar system. New data from the same planet also shows water, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, sodium and potassium.

Countdown to a new star ⏳ Hidden in the neck of this “hourglass” of light are the very beginnings of a new star — a protostar. The clouds of dust and gas within this region are only visible in infrared light, the wavelengths that Webb specializes in: https://go.nasa.gov/3TKluzI #JamesWebb

NASA’s Webb Catches Fiery Hourglass as New Star Forms

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the once-hidden features of the protostar within the dark cloud L1527, providing insight into the beginnings of a new star.

Webb's mirrors were built to withstand micrometeoroids, which are unavoidable in space. In May, a dust-sized hit was larger than tested for. After careful analysis, we've found it to be a rare statistical event. Webb’s optical performance remains twice as good as requirements. ⬇️ #JamesWebb
#jameswebb

Hundreds of companies & thousands of people from around the world came together to build the largest, most powerful space telescope. Thanks to the full team, Webb is recognized as one of 2022's #TIMEBestInventions: https://go.nasa.gov/3G6ngIs #JamesWebb http://nitter.net/NASAWebb/status/1590835305111646208#m
