黑料不打烊 Professor and Former NASA Administrator offers thoughts on the recently released images from the James Webb Space Telescope.聽
Sean O’Keefe
Professor O’Keefe says: 鈥淭he images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are a strong reminder of how little we know about the vast universe we are part of. 聽We are beginning to see the constant, evolving formations of the universe going back over 13 billion years, and are now able to ‘see’ further in distance and further back in time.聽 The telescope itself is an amazing technological achievement, as its operation requires no service (we can鈥檛 get there, as it鈥檚 over 1 million km away) except continued monitoring from afar. JWST was designed to last 10 years, but if past is prologue (Hubble has last 30 years and Mars Rovers lasted more than a decade), it will last longer.鈥�
