Top Scientist Admits Webb Telescope Star Photo Was Actually Chorizo
A prominent French physicist is apologizing after admitting that a viral "distant star" photo he shared on Twitter was not actually captured by the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) but was rather just a slice of chorizo pork sausage.
James Webb Captures Glimpse of Oldest, Most Distant Known Star
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a glimpse of Earendel, the oldest and most distant star ever observed that was first discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope earlier this year.
Tech Developed to Align JWST’s Mirrors Used to Improve Human Vision
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proven its scientific value with its spectacularly detailed photos, the technology that was developed to align its iconic mirrors is having an effect that is much closer to home.
The James Webb Telescope Stores its Photos on a Small 68GB SSD
The James Webb Space Telescope is capturing photos of the universe in remarkable resolution, but it only has enough onboard storage to keep about a day's worth of photos at a time.
How the James Webb Deep Field Images Reminded Me the Divide Between Science and Art is Artificial
The first task I give photography students is to create a starscape. To do this, I ask them to sweep the floor beneath them, collect the dust and dirt in a paper bag, and then sprinkle it onto a sheet of 8x10 inch photo paper. Then, using the photographic enlarger, expose the detritus-covered paper to light.
Photographer Captures James Webb Space Telescope Traveling to Orbit
Astrophotographer Jason Guenzel captured a photo of the James Webb Space Telescope as it flew through space toward its final distant parking orbit. The image was captured while the telescope was 1 million kilometers (620,000 miles) away.
Photographer Captures James Webb Space Telescope Flying Across Nebula
Amateur astrophotographer Ethan Gone went out recently to shoot a nebula and ended up creating a time-lapse of the newly-launched James Webb Space Telescope flying through space.
After Launch, What Will The James Webb Telescope Photograph First?
NASA is set to launch the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the successor to the legendary Hubble Space Telescope, on December 25, and what it will be first set to observe was determined from more than 1,000 proposals.
