James, Jim or Jimmy Webb may refer to:
A space observatory is any instrument (such as a telescope) in outer space that is used for observation of distant planets, galaxies and other outer space objects. The first such space observatory was the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990. Space observatories avoid many of the problems of ground observatories, such as light pollution and the filtering and distortion of electromagnetic radiation (scintillation).
This category is distinct from other observatories located in space that are pointed toward Earth for the purpose of reconnaissance and other types of information gathering.
In 1946, American theoretical astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer was the first to conceive the idea of a telescope in outer space, a decade before the Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik 1.
Spitzer's proposal called for a large telescope that would not be hindered by Earth's atmosphere. After lobbying in the 1960s and 70s for such a system to be built, Spitzer's vision ultimately materialized into the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched on April 24, 1990 by the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31).
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), previously known as Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST), is a flagship-class space observatory under construction and scheduled to launch in October 2018. The JWST will offer unprecedented resolution and sensitivity from long-wavelength (orange-red) visible light, through near-infrared to the mid-infrared, and is a successor instrument to the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope. While Hubble has a 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) mirror, the JWST features a larger and segmented 6.5-meter (21 ft) diameter primary mirror and will be located near the Earth–Sun L2 point. A large sunshield will keep its mirror and four science instruments below 50 K (−220 °C; −370 °F).
JWST's capabilities will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology. One particular goal involves observing some of the most distant objects in the Universe, beyond the reach of current ground and space based instruments. This includes the very first stars, the epoch of reionization, and the formation of the first galaxies. Another goal is understanding the formation of stars and planets. This will include imaging molecular clouds and star-forming clusters, studying the debris disks around stars, direct imaging of exoplanets, and spectroscopic examination of planetary transits.
Webb may refer to:
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

Essa quarta-feira, dia 10 de Janeiro de 2018, marcou foi marcado por uma conferência de imprensa da NASA falando sobre o Telescópio Espacial James Webb. O James Webb passou boa parte do ano de 2017 em Houston no Texas, dentro da chamada Chamber A, fazendo os testes criogênicos críticos pelos quais ele precisa passar. O James Webb chegou em Houston em Maio de 2017 a bordo de um container especial para carregar o telescópio chamado de STTARS. O telescópio foi cuidadosamente desempacotado e em Junho de 2017, os engenheiros abriram o seu espelho primário e seu espelho secundário, deixo ele na configuração em que será usado no espaço. Mesmo a Chamber A tendo 12.2 metros de diâmetro, o James Webb passou raspando pelo teto da entrada da câmara. No dia 10 de Julho a porta da chamber A foi fec...

I’m going to give a quick overview of the James Webb Space Telescope and 4 AWESOME things that researchers hope to observe once it’s operational. The James Webb Space Telescope, JWST for short, was supposed to launch back in 2015, then it was delayed until 2018, and then On September 29thof this year, NASA announced that the launch will be pushed back until spring of 2019. Will the JWST be worth the wait??? Let’s find out! Welcome to NeoScribe, researching the future for you, so you don’t have to. Every time we significantly advance the capabilities of telescopes, we make mind blowing discoveries about the universe. Using one of the earliest telescopes, Galileo discovered that the Milky Way was a mass of individual stars and not a nebulous as previous thought. And up until 94 years ag...

Um dos maiores mistérios da astronomia, as anãs marrons, será que estamos perto de entender o que são, onde vivem e como se reproduzem? Brincadeiras à parte, as anãs marrons são aqueles objetos que não são estrelas e também não são planetas, podem ser até 70 vezes mais massivos que os planetas gigantes gasosos como já mostraram alguns trabalhos feitos com o Hubble, Spitzer e ALMA, mas não tem massa suficiente para iniciar o processo de fusão do hidrogênio. As anãs marrons foram teorizadas na década de 1960 e confirmadas em 1995. Não se sabe ao certo como se formam, por contração de gás como as estrelas ou por acreção de material como os planetas E como vivem, sozinhas ou são companheiras de outras estrelas? Muitas perguntas, todas sem resposta, mas vem aí um alento aos astrônomos. O ...
Members of the media were invited to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston on Jan. 10, to hear about the results of recent cryogenic vacuum tests on the James Webb Space Telescope, and the next steps on the observatory’s path to space.

Hubble: a technological catalyst for transforming our universe Jonathan Trump is an Assistant Professor in Astronomy in the UConn Physics department. His research focuses on supermassive black holes: how they form at cosmic dawn, and grow within galaxies from cosmic high noon to the present. He has played key roles in the two of the largest Hubble Space Telescope surveys: COSMOS and CANDELS. He was educated at Penn State (BS) and the University of Arizona (PhD), and was also a UC Santa Cruz postdoc and a NASA Hubble Fellow before joining the faculty at UConn. Outside of academia, he enjoys fatherhood, brewing beer, and hunting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

James Webb Space Telescope ou JWST é um projeto de uma missão não tripulada norte-americana da Administração Nacional da Aeronáutica e do Espaço (NASA), com a finalidade de colocar no espaço um observatório para captar a radiação infravermelha. O telescópio deverá observar a formação das primeiras galaxias e estrelas, estudar a evolução das galáxias, ver a produção dos elementos pelas estrelas e ver os processos de formação das estrelas e dos planetas. O telescópio foi inicialmente denominado de Next Generation Space Telescope ou NGST. O termo "Next Generation" refere-se ao fato que se pretende que ele venha a substituir o telescópio espacial Hubble, pois após o seu lançamento, novas tecnologias foram desenvolvidas, permitindo construir o novo telescópio sob uma nova concepção.

Meet the Press is a weekly American television news/interview program that is broadcast on NBC. It is the longest-running program in American television history, though its current format bears little resemblance to the one it debuted with on November 6, 1947. Like similar shows that have followed it, Meet the Press specializes in interviews with national leaders on issues of politics, economics, foreign policy and other public affairs, along with panel discussions that provide opinions and analysis. The longevity of Meet the Press is illustrated when one considers that the program debuted during what was only the second official "network television season" for American television. One historical landmark of the program is that it was the first on which a sitting U.S. president, Gerald Fo...
