Reseña del libro "The James Webb Space Telescope (en Inglés)"

The James Webb Space Telescope is the most powerful space observatory ever built - a 6.5-meter gold-coated mirror launched on Christmas Day 2021 that sees the universe in infrared light, revealing galaxies from the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang, reading the chemical fingerprints of alien atmospheres, and peering through the dust clouds where stars are born. This book explains, in clear and accurate detail, exactly how Webb works and what it has already discovered. You will learn why infrared astronomy unlocks parts of the universe invisible to optical telescopes, how 18 hexagonal beryllium mirror segments align themselves in space to nanometer precision, why a tennis-court-sized sunshield is the key to keeping the telescope cold enough to detect the faintest heat signatures in the cosmos, and how four scientific instruments work together to study everything from newborn stars to potentially habitable exoplanets. Written for curious adult readers with no prior astronomy background, this book traces Webb's 25-year engineering journey - the cost overruns, the near-cancellation, the 344 single points of failure that all had to work - through its flawless Christmas launch and 29-day deployment, and into its extraordinary first science results, including the most distant galaxies ever confirmed and the first atmospheric chemistry of alien worlds.
