It was engineered to discover the first stars that sparked the cosmic dawn and exoplanets that may harbor alien life. Let's find out what this machine is capable of. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy this one guys. -Rich    Credits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope NASA: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasawebbtelescope/albums ESA: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images ESO: https://www.eso.org/public/videos/archive/category/cosmology/ https://webbtelescope.org Interactive Sky: https://web.wwtassets.org/specials/2022/jwst-release/ https://www.webbcompare.com/ https://esawebb.org/videos/archive/category/transitions/ Webb's Development: 1981 Deacdal Survey: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/download/549 https://jwst-ngst.ucolick.org/assets/docs/NGST_The_Early_Days_of_JWST_STScI_Newsletter-Link.pdf https://archive.org/details/nextgenerationsp00bely/page/n1 1991 Decadal Survey: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/1634/the-decade-of-discovery-in-astronomy-and-astrophysics] HST & Beyond: https://www.stsci.edu/files/live/sites/www/files/home/hst/documentation/_documents/HSTandBeyond.pdf 2001 Decadal Survey: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9839/astronomy-and-astrophysics-in-the-new-millennium https://www.nature.com/articles/440140a https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/mikulski-to-jwst-workforce-i-saved-you-from-the-tea-party/ https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/threat-of-james-webb-space-telescope-cancellation-rattles-astronomy-community/ https://www.news9live.com/science/looking-back-in-time-development-and-delays-of-the-james-webb-space-telescope-142428 Mirrors: Mirror Production: https://youtu.be/Y_U_MrWcCnE Comprehensive video on mirrors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1J3208E8jU Full Mirror OTE in facility: https://youtu.be/PhGfgREoBj4 Light path: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Z2GbFJWmo General OTE animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwkeoA-0SFA Deployment sequence: https://webbtelescope.org/contents/articles/how-big-is-webb https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/59726/why-didnt-jwst-include-any-sensors-capable-of-blue-and-green-visible-wavelength https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/26/james_webb_and_halleys_comet/ Cosmology with Webb: "Cosmological Distance Calculator" (SV Pilipenko): https://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.5961.pdf David Butler (youtube channel I highly recommend for astronomy content): https://www.youtube.com/@howfarawayisit https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-nasas-james-webb-space-telescope-matters-so-much-20211203/ (By Natalie Wolchover) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jwsts-first-glimpses-of-early-galaxies-could-break-cosmology/ (By Jonathan O'Callaghan) https://cns.utexas.edu/news/widest-view-of-early-universe-hints-at-galaxy-among-the-earliest-ever-detected Alex Filippenko and Lex Fridman: https://youtu.be/thnlEkcXr5w Stars and Exoplanets with Webb: https://www.quantamagazine.org/webb-space-telescope-snaps-its-first-photo-of-an-exoplanet-20220901/ https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-trappist-planets DART impact: https://youtu.be/yaRTBfcHvgo Webb Scientific Papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01611 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ac90ca: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022arXiv221105792F/abstract https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022arXiv221103896F/abstract https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/aca163#aja
