Wow- just wow. TODAY the first images from the James Webb telescope were revealed. Talk about the wonder of science. Check out my childhood crush, Carl Sagan narrating this trailer from beyond the grave to explain the most powerful telescope, a real life time machine that will show us the most crisp images of galaxies not even dreamed of in Star Trek. The origami telescope which folds up to open its cameras was launched into space serving as the Christmas star for the universe. (The telescope was launched Dec 25, 2021). Nasa uses infrared cameras that can penetrate the wavelengths of light and see through the gases of these galaxies that have traveled 300 million light years away.
