the James Webb Space Telescope or jwst has been operational for almost a year already and already
it has surpassed all of our expectations igniting the scientific imagination of future generations
and bringing us one step closer to understanding the most fundamental questions about the cosmos in
order to provide us with the sharpest images of the universe ever seen the jwst precisely
aligns four instruments and 18 gold-plated mirrors arranged in interconnected hexagonal
configurations it is simply gorgeous and refined with Elegance but recently jwst just captured a
mysterious gigantic structure that shocks the SpaceX CEO Elon Musk what is this let's find
out hello everyone welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution where we bring you the most recent
news about Elon Musk and his multi-billion dollar companies space news and the latest science and
technology but before we begin make sure you subscribe to our Channel and click the Bell
icon so you don't miss any of our amazing videos the JW UST which was launched on Christmas Day
2021 is already revolutionizing our knowledge of planets both within and outside of our solar
system jwsd is a powerful satellite Observatory that is orbiting one million miles from Earth
and has a clear view of the universe as opposed to ground-based telescopes which have to look
out into space through the hazy atmosphere of Earth this provides it a significant advantage
jwsd's spectroscopic capabilities help it to detect faint signals from far-off Worlds
since it gathers five times as much light as the Hubble Space Telescope the jwst's elegant
design is striking but what it took to make it a reality is even more amazing its development
required roughly 30 years of preparation testing and Construction in coordination with tens of
thousands of Engineers physicists mathematicians and technicians spread across 14 Nations and 29
U.S states International scientific cooperation is usually always advantageous but the jwst's
successful construction is nothing short of amazing after a hugely successful launch in
December of last year it was so flawlessly crafted that its anticipated mission life was doubled when
you look up into the night sky you are essentially looking into the past because the light you see is
light that has previously come from galaxies and stars that have existed for thousands millions
or even billions of years we can now see deeper into space base time than ever before thanks to
the jwst its best photographs can capture objects that are over 100 times dimmer than those seen by
the Hubble Space Observatory the next best Space Telescope thanks to its mirrors and infrared
capabilities the data from this sensor is also unaffected by dust clouds allowing us to utilize
it to observe the formation of galaxies with such a powerful instrument the scientific possibilities
are virtually Limitless data from the telescope has already allowed researchers to look into some
of the most important astronomical and physics issues of the present scientists have been able
to research dark matter and the gravitational lensing effects from just the first image from
the jwst according to musk numerous exoplanets those outside of our solar system have been found
by previous missions and studies from Earth and astronomers are currently utilizing jwst's special
capabilities to investigate the fundamental Elements of Life in the universe alien Skies
astrophysicists were able to observe an exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star 700 light years away
earlier this year thanks to the jwst astronomers can observe the chemistry of alien Skies by
observing Starlight that passes through the atmosphere of the hot jupiter-like planet wasp 39b
since they must see through the CO2 in the planet's atmospheres to detect carbon
dioxide on exoplanets from Earth telescopes struggle to collect this data a wider range
of chemicals including carbon dioxide can be found in the atmosphere of wasp 39b thanks to the jwst
telescope carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be a sign that there is organic life on
the planet musk explained according to musk this is truly a game changer planets orbiting nearby
stars are something we should really explore our best opportunity to understand their environments
is now musk is particularly interested in the atmospheres of the seven rocky planets that orbit
the dwarf trappist-1 star some 40 light years away the planets are in the habitable zone where
the temperature is just right for liquid water to exist typically when scientists make predictions
regarding the atmosphere of an exoplanet they presume that it is homogeneous meaning that
the same characteristics Prevail throughout it's doubtful that this is true a 3D simulator has been
created to conduct tests on fictitious planets with known properties such as the presence of
liquid water these tests can be carried out using simulated planets and the answers the
models produce can be compared with the known features just like when the answers are in the
back of a math textbook in the upcoming years tens of thousands more exoplanets will probably
be discovered including those found with the new Space Telescope scientists want to know if the
predictions made by their models are accurate the four largest planets in our solar system Jupiter
Saturn Uranus and Neptune May hold some of the solutions to problems regarding distant exoplanets
stunning views of Jupiter were made possible by the Juno Orbiter Mission and information
about Saturn was made known by the Cassini spacecraft the atmospheres of Neptune and Uranus
were previously photographed by the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it passed by according to musk these
planets large-scale weather circulation patterns may be seen in the beautiful photographs that have
been taken from these planets which show all the swirling storm systems and candy colored Stripes
however it just provides a snapshot of their climatic conditions and atmospheres at a specific
point in time four giants scientists have been working on a project dubbed giant climbs to put
the parts of their constantly changing atmospheres together to better understand climate and weather
and patterns they studied the four large planet's natural cycles over many years using historical
data collected by telescopes on Earth the much anticipated new maps of these worlds from the
jwst have been made possible because of these past data the most distant planets in the solar
system Uranus and Neptune soon nevertheless have a mystery about them despite being referred to
be ice giants they mostly consist of hydrogen helium and other gases like methane with these
two planets there is so much possibility for completely new discoveries according to musk
compared to the better studied gas giants we don't have a strong hold on the workings
of the atmospheres of these ice giants methane snow in the meantime Neptune might experience
methane snowstorms and Saturn is known to produce enormous storm systems temperature is usually a
major factor in determining weather patterns with Neptune and Uranus in the far distance having
extremely cold temperatures the first ever maps of atmospheric temperatures at high altitudes in
Uranus's Stratosphere were published recently signaling progress this revealed unexpected
seasonal circulation patterns as well as bright regions above the poles it further implies that
the seasons on Big Planets which are frequently named on their axis will be extraordinarily long
according to musk we do witness Seasons modifying air temperatures clouds and precipitation like we
do on planet Earth however we also detect recurring natural cycles in the atmosphere
that are not seasonal the weather of enormous planets is something we are only now beginning
to grasp additionally there was a lot of storm and weather activity in Neptune's atmosphere however
scientists were shocked to see that the planet appeared to have cooled rather than warmed over
the summer the new telescope has already examined Jupiter and will next turn its attention to Uranus
and Saturn before moving on to Neptune early in 2023 this will enable comparisons between
the planets the core of jwst's Investigation according to musk is how the climates function
on the four different planets as seen on Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune it is anticipated to
provide further insight into the cyclical patterns of climatic variability that are seen naturally
even so we may learn more from their extremes about the climate and weather patterns on Earth
jwst will give astronomers clear views into the Skies of planets outside the solar system as well
as of planets light years distant some of which may have protective atmospheres and planetary
conditions favorable to extraterrestrial life two fields in astrophysics are developing quickly
exoplanets and cosmology are the subjects at hand and they really boil down to the existence
of God and the origins of life including our own according to Musk so are the images from
the James Webb Space Telescope real how the jwsd creates its Cosmic images let's find out
the universe's expansion causes light to be stretched as it moves through space this
explains why many of the farthest objects emit infrared light which has a longer wavelength
than visible light the Ancient Light is invisible to the human eye but the jwst was built to detect
it and reveal some of the very first galaxies to have ever formed and let's take a closer
look at jwst's primary instruments for Gathering data this technique simulates an interferometer
which combines data from numerous telescopes to produce a greater resolution than a single
lens by blocking some of the light entering the telescope using a perforated metal plate known as
aperture masking the method shows more information about the very brilliant objects that are close to
one another like two neighboring stars in the sky spectral light divided into its many wavelengths
may be measured from up to 100 places in a single frame using a micro shutter array which is made
up of a grid of 248 000 tiny doors that can open and close gratings or prisms divide incoming light
in into Spectra in spectrographs which show the strength of each wavelength jwst is equipped with
three cameras two of which are used to record light in the near infrared region and one in
the mid infrared to show how the light varies over the field of vision a camera and spectrograph are
combined to capture a picture and the Spectra for each pixel also known as integral field unit the
glare from Bright Stars can mask the fainter light emitted by planets and debris discs circling such
stars in order to let the weaker signals through coronagraphs which are opaque circles block the
bright Starlight the fgs is a guide camera that aids in pointing the telescope in the appropriate
Direction it is also known as the near infrared imager and slit-less spectrograph it comes paired
with the nearest a spectrograph and camera that can capture images and Spectra near the infrared
Spectrum the near infrared spectrograph has a tiny shutter array that allows it to record 100 Spectra
at once it is the first instrument in space that can take spectroscopies of so many objects
simultaneously the sole near infrared camera with a Corona graph is the near infrared camera
which will be essential for researching exoplanets whose light would otherwise be obscured by the
brightness of their neighboring Stars it will record near infrared Spectra and high resolution
pictures the mid infrared instrument is the only instrument on the jwst that can observe in the
mid infrared where colder objects like dust discs around stars and so very far away galaxies produce
their light so are the images real according to musk the jwsd's images are real but scientists
must make adjustments to turn the raw data into something that humans can understand and
that ends today's episode do you think jwst will find alien civilization anytime soon
