NASA's James Webb Telescope saw the 'heart' of the Phantom Galaxy, scientists got surprising information by linking it to Hubble's data

 NASA James Webb Telescope: The Hubble Telescope of the US space agency NASA has shown humans pictures taken from the depths of space for decades. But the new James Webb Space Telescope is putting even better pictures in front of the world. James Webb has now photographed the Phantom Galaxy. This is a spiral galaxy. Which is located at a distance of 32 million light years from the Earth. A picture of it has also been made by combining pictures taken from both Hubble and James. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), it is in the constellation of the Milky Way.

The Phantom Galaxy is also officially called the M74. Very beautiful spirals are visible in this galaxy. This means that it has spiral arms, which can be seen rotating in the newly released images. This picture has been made by combining the pictures of Hubble Telescope and James Webb Telescope. James Webb has detected threads of gas and dust in the Galaxy. In the picture, the nuclear star cluster is clearly visible in the very center of the Galaxy, in which clouds of gas are not present. 

gathering information about star formation

ESA says the James Webb telescope has analyzed the galaxy using its Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This work is part of a project trying to understand the early stages of star formation. James Webb has also captured that infrared light in his camera, which cannot be seen by human eyes. At the same time, the Hubble telescope has also seen ultraviolet and visible waves. This is the reason that Hubble has been able to see a bright part of the star-forming region in the phantom galaxy called HII.

James Webb Telescope orbiting the Sun

By combining the data from both the telescopes, it has become easier for scientists to understand the Phantom Galaxy in depth. Due to this, a new picture of the Universe has come in front of the world. Let us tell you, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope released the first high-resolution picture on 12 July. At the same time, Hubble has the ability to see the most distant part of Gasexy. The Hubble telescope is orbiting the Earth but the James Webb telescope is orbiting the Sun. It is at a distance of 16 lakh kilometers from the earth.  

What Makes the James Telescope Great?

Space-based telescopes allow us to see certain ranges of light, which are unable to pass through Earth's dense atmosphere. The Hubble Space Telescope was designed to use both the ultraviolet (UV) and the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. JWST has been designed to make use of a wide range of 'infrared light'. This is a major reason JWST can see further back in time than Hubble.

Galaxies emit a range of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma rays to radio waves. All of these give us important information about the different physics going on in the Galaxy. When galaxies are near us, we can probe a wide range of these wavelengths to see what's happening inside them. But when the galaxies are far away, we no longer have that facility. Light from the most distant galaxies, as we see them now, is stretched to red wavelengths by the expansion of the universe.

This means that some of the light that was visible to our eyes when it was first emitted has lost its energy as the universe expands. It is now in a completely different region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is a phenomenon known as 'cosmic redshift'. That's where JWST's features really shine. The wide range of infrared wavelengths detectable by the JWST allows it to see galaxies that Hubble never could. With JWST's massive mirror and superb 'pixel resolution' you have the most powerful time machine in the known universe.

Self-reliant India: Cheap hydrogen will be made from sun and water, know the achievements of Indian scientists this week

  New Delhi.  The first and most important step in achieving the goal of self-reliance is the discovery of new or improved indigenous technologies.  The discovery of any new technology or method by the scientists of the country, which is capable of solving any problem of the country, helps a lot in making the country and the economy an edge over other countries and economies.  This is the reason why the Government of India is constantly focusing on research and development along with the self-reliant campaign.  Now the situation is such that almost every few days scientists are coming out with a new technology.  Let's take a look at the achievements of Indian scientists that came out this week. Light and water will make cheap hydrogen According to the information given by the Department of Science and Technology, a team of scientists has for the first time developed a large-scale reactor that can produce sufficient amount of hydrogen using sources like sunl...

Solar Storm: 'Pink' colored light seen in the sky of Canada, there was chaos among the people, know what happened after all?

  Solar Storm:  Solar storms can cause radio blackouts, satellite and power grid problems on Earth.  However, when solar storms hit Earth from the sun, these problems appear.  But if a light storm hits the Earth, it causes bright colored lights to appear at the Earth's poles.  Such a spectacular view has been seen in the southern part of Canada.  This type of light is rarely seen in this area.  When this light was seen here, everyone was surprised. People in some parts of the south in Canada have seen such light in the sky.  This solar storm or say, a light storm has been seen in Canada on Sunday.  Although these lights were not as spectacular as those seen at the North Pole.  Scientists believe that this incident of solar storm can be a part of a surprising event.  This spectacular sight has been named STEVE.  The full form of which is Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement. Two types of light appeared in the sky A brigh...
