James Webb Telescope Is FINALLY Proving Existence Of White Holes!
Many have heard about the space monsters called black holes! They are terrifying large objects that we can’t see but swallow everything that they encounter, including stars and light! However, there are other even more mysterious objects lurking in the Universe, which are the direct opposite of black holes; white holes! Scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of white holes without success! However, scientists have a new weapon in space; the James Webb Space Telescope! What are white holes, and where do they come from? In this video, we will show you how the new James Webb Telescope will prove scientists right about white hole theory!
The James Webb Space Telescope is a 10 billion dollar gamble that launched to space late last year. However, the James Webb Space Telescope has reached its final destination, almost a month after launch! Since lifting off from French Guiana on December 25, the telescope has unfurled its tennis court-size sunshield and unfolded a massive gold mirror that will help it study the Universe in new ways and peer inside the atmosphere of exoplanets. The telescope’s observation point is nearly a million miles away from Earth and beyond the moon itself. The space observatory experienced its final burn on and has entered the orbit called L2.
NASA reports that if Ariane 5, the launch rocket, had been going even a little bit faster, the telescope may have overshot the orbit and exposed its mirror and instruments to the sun if it had to slam on the brakes. But the Ariane 5 targeted the JWST so accurately that the first and most critical burn was smaller than NASA had to plan and design for, leaving more fuel for an extended mission. So, instead of the initial ten-year estimated life span, the JWST now has enough fuel to keep working for 20 years!
The JWST will actually orbit the sun and remain in line with the Earth. Thanks to thrusting every three weeks or so, it will stay in orbit from small rocket engines aboard. The L2 point is ideal for the JWST because the gravitational forces of the sun and Earth will basically ensure the spacecraft doesn’t have to use much thrust to stay in orbit. And it will allow the telescope to have an unimpeded view of the Universe, unlike Hubble, which moves in and out of Earth’s shadow every 90 minutes. Because the JWST works with infrared, it needs to be kept as cool as possible. This is why the spacecraft has a five-layer sunshield that keeps the giant mirror and instruments from the sun’s blistering rays and maintains a very frigid negative 370 degrees Fahrenheit or negative 223 degrees Celsius!
With the JWST now in orbit, the spacecraft will spend the next five months calibrating its instruments. The first images captured by the observatory will come around this summer this year. NASA promises that they will be stunning and worth all the billions of dollars and person-hours!
The JWST’s primary mission focuses on four main areas: first light in the Universe, assembly of galaxies in the early Universe, the birth of stars and protoplanetary systems and planets, including the origins of life! It will stare billions of years into the past, taking us as closest as possible to the Big Bang! One of the deep space mysteries this space telescope will solve is the truth about white holes! What truth will the JWST uncover about these unknown but mighty objects? First, what are white holes?
