NASA is about to finish the machine looking past 13.5 billion years

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) completes the assembly of the main mirror of the James Webb space telescope, the time machine capable of looking back 13.5 billion years.

According to RT, NASA engineers installed 18 of James Webb 's main mirrors, a telescope as big as a tennis court and across a four-story building, at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

The telescope will be fitted with parts within two years at three other development locations before departing from the launch base in French Guiana, South America.

James Webb was born to serve astronomical and cosmological studies, including observing some of the most distant astronomical objects in the universe, beyond the search capabilities of devices on Earth and beyond. The current.

According to NASA, the James Webb telescope will search for the first galaxies formed in the early universe and see through the cloud of dust to observe stars that make up the planetary system. "This is a time machine with optical devices sensitive enough to look back past 13.5 billion years," said Scott Willoughby, a member of the assembly team for telescope James Webb.

James Webb will replace NASA's Hubble telescope, becoming the most powerful space telescope in history.Its two largest parts are the main mirror face and sunscreen.

Other scientific devices including cameras and spectrophotometers with extremely weak signal detectors are included in the Integrated Science Instrument (ISIM) Chamber in March 2014, which has been tested many times, but has not been added. into the observatory.

After NASA conducted a flight test and tried it out, the complete observatory will be transported to South America to launch into space in October 2018.
