There is no end to the curiosity of astronomers and ordinary people as to how the earth was created, how life was transmitted here, what the universe really is. The James Webb Space Telescope reached its destination on January 24, 2022, completing a journey of 1.5 million km from Earth to solve that mystery. In search of the answer to that unresolved question, how did this universe come into being? This time the James Webb Telescope sent the first picture to us. The James Webb Telescope arrived at the destination a few days ago.

This time NASA released the first picture taken from that telescope. NASA released the image on Friday, February 11th. With that, a selfie taken by James Webb came to the fore again. Which is in fact its primary mirror. James Webb was sent into space on December 25, 2021, last year. This is the first time the outer world has been so closely monitored from space. This is the first time a 21-foot-long telescope has been launched into space. Well, it's a space observatory. The first photo taken by James Webb shows a star in the constellation Ursa Major 256 light-years away. The name of the star is 'HD 84406'.

It looked like a few blurry dots, but it was more than the mission team had hoped. With this image, scientists will be able to fit large mirrors to the correct size using the telescope's infrared camera. NASA scientists have already completed the initial work. The picture was taken after 25 hours of effort. Made from 156 different locations and using NIR cam sensors. The visual has come to the fore through the processing of 1560 images. According to NASA, the entire mission team is pleased to see how well the work of taking pictures and aligning the ions of the telescope is progressing.

Scientist Marshall Perry added that at the beginning of the search, the light was emitted from all parts of the center very close. This is a great starting point for mirror alignment. Which is how the first starlight was after the Big Bang period. How did that star become innumerable stars? How did the first galaxy come into being with those stars? How these beautiful planets started to be formed inside that galaxy. To better see the universe, to analyze it, to find out if there is life anywhere in the universe. Scientists and engineers have worked hard for the last 30 years to create the James Webb Telescope, searching for billions of stars hidden in the vast dust and gas of space. This combination is a joint mission of the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. The telescope launched into space on December 25.
After it reached orbit, astronauts faced two challenges. The first was to line up 18 segment of James Webb. And collecting cosmic light. The second challenge was to detect the light of a star in eighteen mirrors at the same time. That too has finally become possible. The telescope, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, was built at a cost of 10 billion dollars. It is an infrared observatory. Will detect cosmic objects by infrared rays. After the launch of Hubble in 1990, there was some problem. It took him a few years to fix it. In the case of James Webb, so far nothing has been caught.
