NASAs James Webb telescope successfully launched and deployed into space

[CriticalThought]

I heard a journalist told that besides images this telescope is capable to see in the past (he referred to the speed of light); what is your opinion on it? If you could understand the Urdu language, I will share a link to that video with you of what he is talking about.

If you are talking about Dr Shahid Masood he is absolutely wrong on this one. We aren't going to be able to see Hazrat Musa 'Alaihis Salam parting the Red Sea, or the pyramids being built. The light from those events, IF it reached space, is now thousands of light years away. Only through some strange gravitational effect would that light reach us. There is a very, very remote possibility (again due to light bending in some strange way due to space-time curvature) that the light from Shaq-al-Qamar (the breaking of Moon into two) could be captured in some fashion, but scientists would have to be looking for it actively. As far as I know, it isn't included in the public agenda of James Webb.

Thanks Sir, for a brief description on seeing in the past of James Webb telescope. You pointed it rightly, I heard about Dr. Shahid's narrative for the same telescope.

Hey remember the Chinese members here saying NASA doesn't do anything great anymore.

This may be the most important breakthrough happened in our generation until today.

The forward sun shield pallet has been deployed. Now waiting on the aft.

I can’t wait for its future finds, most exciting thing that’s happened this century and it could change a lot of things. I’m happy it’s happened during our lifetime, can’t wait for the first pics to come.

The aft sun shield pallet has successfully deployed as well

Some, used to seeing Hubble images in the visible spectrum may be disappointed to see false colour imaging from JWT.
Its the science wonks who will get the greatest thrill, and data to work with for decades to come.

 

[vi-va]

That's a terrestrial radio telescope Moron.
You are claiming a ten metre space telescope as a comparison to the Hubble and JWT.
Where is that one, and its images and data ??

Where is my claim? Show me.
Can u read?

 

[vi-va]

No one has the time to deal with morons.

So you don't have a quote of my words as you claimed.

Imagine in 6 months time, when James Webb telescope switched on camera to acquire 1st image from deep space and this comes on NASA's screen....

Um..I don't see ESA asking China to join in on the James Webb project...

Because James Webb is a US project. US is also not invited to FAST and now has no large aperture radio telescope after the failure of Arecibo.

And they share a huge amount of data for anyone and everyone in any country, even China and Russia.
Even the poorest can be awed by the universe and offer something beyond worldly concerns.

They do not share with China.

TBH it's moments like these I thank God for USA - because no one else would spend so much money on projects like these.

However they make their money, they collect it and they spend it on fantastic ideas.

really? China has built the largest radio observatory in the world, space based gravitational wave/EM combined observatories, space based X-ray observatories, space based X-ray pulsar navigation systems, space based quantum communication satellites and space based dark matter observatories.

Some people just buy into the propaganda of the empire of lies and can’t see and doesn’t want to see the achievements of other countries.

Of course i appreciate China, I hope they will be the next pioneers - China's new battery tech will hopefully benefit the whole world. But it's true that, except the last few decades, China was inward focused throughout its history.

Very few achievements that the world could benefit from - whereas American achievements like light bulbs, dry cell batteries, telephones, have benefited the world for a century already.
