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

We lived in a very small part of this huge Galaxy. Our Milky Way galaxy is made up of billions of stars. The Sun is the main star of our solar system. The sun is always the brightest star for us because it is the closest thing to the earth. The main star in the solar system is the main source of energy for the planets in that solar system. Each star that appears at the night has its own unique identity. Just knowing about them shows how special those stars are. Sometimes we search for the star in front of which our sun looks very small. Today we will get information about some such stars. These are the stars that try to tell us how bright or massive a star can be. Thousands of telescopes and space telescopes form earth showed us the reality of the universe that we still do not fully understand. Sometime telescopes find stars that how little we understood them. Let’s first know about one such amazing star. 1. Pistol Star     Image source-google | Image by- CenterForDetectors Just

Every day new discoveries and objects discovered in space. One of these is the Nebula. Nebulas are a very special part of creation. Today we are on this Earth only because of the Nebula. Our star, the earth and whatever is part of our solar system would once have been in the nebula only in the form of gas and dust. All the stars and planets are formed in the nebula. By the way, the nebulas itself look like a different and beautiful. Because the irregular expanding gas in it gives it a beautiful shape. It can be of many types. Like Emission nebula, they are the most colourful because they contain ionized gases. Due to this they emit light of different wavelengths. There are other similar nebulae, such as Planetary Nebula, the reflection nebula, the dark nebula and supernova Remnants. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April, 24 1990 and has performed millions of observations in interstellar space and is doing. It doesn’t know how much beautiful nebula it has captured.
