The James Webb Telescope was successfully launched yesterday, Christmas Day. It is now on route to a point about a million miles from earth where it will be in orbit around the sun and pointed out beyond the solar system. Hopefully, setting up the Webb telescope will be as successful as its launch.
Okay, so here is my question: What AMAZING discoveries do you think the Webb telescope will reveal? The Hubble telescope was able to take us back in time to very early after the creation of the universe but the Webb telescope, using infrared technology will take us back almost to the moment of the Big Bang.
The Hubble revealed that the universe is much more vast and chock full of galaxies that we ever imagined. Also one discovery that SHOCKED scientists is that the universe is expanding at an INCREASING rate rather than slowing down eventually to contract upon itself as was generally expected before the Hubbell telescope.
Given that the Webb telescope will give us a view of the universe to a point much earlier in time than the Hubble, what do you think will be discovered that we did not know before?
Don’t forget the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Tarzan, Buck Rodgers, Sky King, Rin-Tin-Tin, Fury, Sgt Preston of the Yukon, Circus Boy, Robin Hood, etc etc etc.
The Horsehead Nebula for one thing.
My Law, which I came up with on my own, is good luck finding life on any planet that has more than one moon,..... or none. The Moon is integral to life on this planet.
After God, that is.
Thank You, I was born just about 8-10 years too late to watch them when they were on regularly.
I really need to get on watching them Online.
