Relevance<\/strong>: The James Webb Space Telescope<\/p>\n

News<\/strong>: NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) located some 1.6 million km from Earth has received \u201cdeep field\u201d images of the photons of the early formed stars.<\/p>\n

These photons have travelled relatively unhindered through the ever-expanding vast and presumably empty open space of the universe for over 13 billion years.<\/p>\n

Findings about Planet WASP-96 b<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The JWST\u2019s also captured images indicating signs of water, clouds and haze in the atmosphere of WASP-96 b<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The planet is a hot and puffy gas giant planet orbiting a distant Sun-like star. It is located roughly 1,150 light-years away in the constellation Phoenix.<\/p>\n

It has a mass less than half that of Jupiter and a diameter 1.2 times greater,<\/p>\n

According to Nasa, WASP-96 b is much puffier than any planet orbiting our Sun.<\/p>\n

Importance of the discovery<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The images give detailed glimpse of the birth<\/strong> of stars\/ the beginnings of the universe as well as the deepest looks<\/strong> into the far reaches of outer space in the universe.<\/p>\n

It gave a glimpse of what the most distant galaxies<\/strong> would have looked like more than 13.1 billion years ago, less than a billion years after the Big Bang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Importance of the finding related to Scope of JWST <\/strong><\/h5>\n

According to NASA, these observations have demonstrated that the JWST telescope has the unprecedented ability over the Hubble telescope, to do detailed observation of outer space.<\/p>\n

About the JWST Programmes<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It will<\/p>\n

– target exoplanets<\/strong>, comets <\/strong>which are located outside our solar system.<\/p>\n

– study the first light in the universe<\/strong>, and also study the first galaxies<\/strong> that formed in the universe<\/p>\n

– probe the atmospheres of planets<\/strong> around other stars and so on. Thus will characterise potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.<\/p>\n

The JWST\u2019s first deep field images have revealed that it has far more powerful ability than the Hubble\u2019s telescope. The JWST is planned for the next-generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public (DEEP) survey<\/strong> and other programmes<\/p>\n

Its programmes will target distant galaxies. <\/strong>This will include giant galaxies, as well as the dwarf galaxies<\/strong> which are far smaller than what Hubble Space Telescope could capture.<\/p>\n

It shall identify supermassive black holes<\/strong> that sit at the centre of almost every large galaxy.<\/p>\n

It shall observe Mars<\/strong> and the gas giants<\/strong>, dwarf planets like Pluto\u00a0and Eris, and even smaller bodies in our solar system like asteroids, comets, and Kuiper Belt Objects.<\/p>\n

It is also slated to study brown dwarfs<\/strong> and other matters of cosmic evolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
