Google Doodle celebrates the discovery of James Webb Space Telescope

Google has published a new Doodle in honour of the James Webb Space Telescope’s farthest ever image of the universe.

A small sliver of the immense universe, Webb’s image is about the size of a grain of sand held out at arm’s length.

The Webb telescope is the biggest, most potent, and most complicated infrared telescope ever launched into orbit—as well as the largest ever international space project.

Northrop Grumman Corp.’s $9 billion infrared telescopes, which it developed for NASA, is anticipated to revolutionise astronomy by enabling researchers to see farther and more clearly than ever before into the cosmos, all the way back to the beginning of the known universe.

The JWST is called in honour of James E. Webb, the second administrator of NASA, who oversaw the Apollo missions that resulted in the first moon landings.

The Webb was launched on December 25, 2021, by a collaboration of NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. A month later, it arrived at its destination in solar orbit, about 1 million miles from Earth.

Webb’s First Deep Field, a picture of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, was released by US President Joe Biden on July 11 at a White House event.
