The Ariane 5 rocket has been launched from the Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana, bringing the James Webb Telescope (JWST) into space. He will help in the study of the early stages of the formation of the universe. Broadcast of this landmark event for science leads NASA.
The James Webb telescope is set to replace Hubble, which has been in orbit for 31 years and is increasingly failing. It is assumed that in the next decade JWST will be the main engine for the development of world astronomy and astrophysics. In the first year alone, he must conduct 266 observations with a total duration of 6,000 hours.
