Unlocking Secrets Of The Early Universe

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, captured a groundbreaking image in 1995 by focusing on a blank sky area, revealing early galaxies from 13 billion years ago. This discovery inspired the development of the James Webb Telescope, designed to look even further back in time. The James Webb, a $10 billion project by NASA and other space agencies, will detect infrared light and is expected to be 100 times more powerful than Hubble. It aims to uncover the first light from newborn galaxies and ancient quasars, potentially explaining the formation of over 100 billion galaxies, including our own.
