1. A JOINT MISSION First and foremost, the James Webb space Telescope (jwst) is a joint mission of NASA-ESA and CSA space agencies. If you don't know about CSA, this is the Canadian Space Agency. It is being developed as a next generation space telescope. Which will replace the Hubble Space Telescope. It is manufactured by two companies. The first company is Northrop Grumman Corporation, an American global aerospace and defence technology company. The other company is called Ball Aerospace & technologies. This company is an American company known for making spacecraft and their components. The James Webb Space Telescope is being built at a very advanced level. Which will provide many times better Infrared resolution and Sensitivity than the Hubble Space Telescope. This will give us a lot of information about the galaxies that will be formed in the beginning after the birth of the universe. This will revolutionize our knowledge of astronomy and cosmology.𑁋james web space tele

1. Today we are well aware those Black holes are the objects that have a greater gravity than any other object in the universe. But do you know why they are known by the word “ Black hole ”? Of course, black holes were predicted a hundred years ago. But the word black hole was first used by the American astronomers John Wheeler In 1967 . 2. The temperature of the accretion disc outside a blackhole can reach millions of degree Celsius. But you may surprise to know that studies have shown that the central temperature of a supermassive black hole can be up to 1.4×10 -14 kelvin. This is an extremely freezing temperature. This temperature is very close to absolute zero but not equal to absolute zero. In fact the absolute zero temperature is -273 0 15 Celsius. At this temperature, the movement of atoms stops completely. If we talk about the coldest place, it is NASA’s Cold Atom Laboratory with a temperature of -273 degree Celsius. This is also exactly one degree less than absolute ze
