NASA's next big space telescope is under construction with help from ESA - and scientists hope it will answer questions about dark matter.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is set to unveil a showcase of high-resolution, full-color images and spectrographic data of a galaxy cluster at the Goddard Space Flight Center, revealing the most detailed glimpse of the early universe ever seen. For a closer look at the significance of NASA's new space telescope, FRANCE 24 is joined by Mark McCaughrean, Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration at the European Space Agency (ESA). He describes the joint effort between NASA, the ESA and the Canadian Space Agency as "a culmination of decades of work between those three agencies."
The sharpest infrared images of the universe ever seen which shows the cosmos as it was 13 billion years ago, is unveiled by NASA
It will be months before the first images get back to Earth.
Exactly 12 months ago NASA released the first stunning image captured by the James Webb Telescope, which gave us a new understanding of the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang. Since then, it has helped us shed new light on the entire universe.
