For VOA News Antoni Belchi has the story.]] ((NARRATION)) ((Video courtesy: NASA)) Scientists have seen this part of the universe before, but never with the stunning clarity provided by these first images from the newly online James Webb telescope. A joint effort by NASA, the European Space Agency and Canada the Webb telescope is already making history. (Nestor Espinosa, NASA Astronomer) ((Video courtesy: Zoom)) ((In Spanish)) “The James Webb Space Telescope is a new window to the universe. It is a giant telescope. We are talking about telescopes which are the size of a tennis court.” ((NARRATION)) ((Video courtesy: NASA)) The images it is processing are from so far away, the light hitting the telescope is over 13 billion years old. And Webb is looking for light that’s from even further back in time. ((Macarena García, European Space Station Scientist)) ((Video courtesy: Zoom)) ((IN SPANISH)) “With these data, galaxies that are 13.1 billion years old have already been seen. And the goal is to go further.” ((NARRATION)) ((Video courtesy: NASA)) The Webb telescope is going to allow astronomers to get their closest ever look at exoplanets, worlds orbiting other stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Scientists say Webb should be able to tell them if any of these planets have water or chemical compositions that could support life. ((Macarena García, European Space Station Scientist)) ((Video courtesy: Zoom)) ((IN SPANISH)) “These scientific programs are going to dedicate hours of observation to these planets, they are going to discover really very interesting things. I'm sure about that." ((NARRATION)) ((Video courtesy: NASA)) Scientists working with the telescope say it’s so powerful it can reveal unprecedented details about the universe. (Voicd of Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator) "And when you look at something as big as this is, we are going to be able to answer questions that we don't even know what the questions are yet. This is what's happening." ((NARRATION)) ((Video courtesy: NASA)) Scientists are planning to ramp up the agenda of the Webb telescope over the next year. The telescope will be doing more monitoring of exoplanet atmospheres and trying to capture images of galactic cloud formation in the early days of the universe. ((For VOA News Antoni Belchi, Miami.))
