☆ The James Webb Space Telescope is astronomy's shiny new toy, but the Hubble Space Telescope isn't old news — it's at its scientific peak

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has made revolutionary achievements in astronomy. The new James Webb Space Telescope is popular, but Hubble has skills, like capturing visible and ultraviolet light, that Webb doesn't. "The Webb Space Telescope is good news for astronomy, and good news for the Hubble Space Telescope as well, since Webb and Hubble enhance and complement each other's unique capabilities," Jennifer Wiseman, senior project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told Insider.

Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, will be using the Webb telescope to do just that. The Webb telescope, a collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, launched into space Dec. 25, 2021. The James Webb Space Telescope captured different wavelengths of light from an exoplanet known as WASP-96b, located more than 1,000 light-years away from Earth. Space Telescope Science Institute / NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScITelescopes like Webb can essentially peer back into the universe's history because it takes time for light to travel through space. Billed as the successor to the prolific Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb observatory is designed to study the earliest stars and galaxies in the universe.
☆ Un elev de 17 ani a descoperit o nouă planetă în cea de-a treia zi de stagiu la NASA. TOI-1338 este de aproximativ de 6,9 ori mai mare decât Pământul

Un elev de 17 ani a descoperit o nouă planetă în cea de-a treia zi de stagiu la NASA. El a fost însărcinat să examineze datele colectate de Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Odată ce lumea îndepărtată a fost suspectată, NASA a folosit un sistem cunoscut sub numele de Eleanor pentru a analiza o mulțime de date legate de sistemele planetei. Paul Hertz, director al diviziei de astrofizică a NASA, a declarat pentru CBS News: „TESS a fost proiectat și lansat special pentru a găsi planete de dimensiunea Pământului care orbitează stele din apropiere”. Descoperirea TOI-1338 b a fost cu siguranță un beneficiu și pentru CV-ul adolescentului, dar noua planetă a fascinat și internetul.
