Description: 2022-01-07 – There are many kinds of light all around us: the rainbow of light we can see, and several other types – like X-rays, infrared, microwaves, radio waves – that are not visible to the human eye. The James Webb Space Telescope will use infrared light to study every phase in cosmic history. The telescope's four scientific instruments are specifically designed to capture infrared light, and will be able to peer through cosmic dust to study colder or very distant objects. Certain types of objects, such as planets and very distant galaxies, shine most brightly in infrared light. #jameswebbspacetelescope #jameswebb #jameswebbtelescope Credits: Canadian Space Agency, NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), J.
