University of Arizona researchers designed the most powerful space telescope's primary camera. Now the world will see that camera's early images of faraway galaxies and exoplanets.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Bigger and better than the famous Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope launched back on Christmas Day.
“And still, it’s mind-blowingly beautiful, the sensitivity of these instruments and the science,” said Kevin Hainline, a professor at the University of Arizona and one of the scientists behind the telescopes Near Infrared Camera or ‘NIRCAM.’ Watching how that light evolves will give scientists clues as to how our universe formed after the Big Bang.
