This international mission, led by NASA in partnership with the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, launched Dec. 25, 2021. After unfolding in space into its final form, Webb successfully arrived at its destination nearly 1 million miles from Earth and began preparing for science operations.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to see the universe in the infrared, Webb will push the field of astronomy into a new era. Webb will be able to study light from distant parts of the universe for the very first time &#8211; the first galaxies that formed over 13.5 billion years ago &#8212; and give insight into how our universe formed. It will also peer into dusty stellar nurseries to explore distant worlds orbiting other stars, as well as observe objects in our own solar system. Webb will extend the scientific discoveries of other NASA missions like the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.<\/p>\n<p>Dobek, NMC Science Department Chairman, has been looking forward to these images for years. &#8220;Galileo&#8217;s first use of the telescope in 1610 is analogous to taking a step at a time with Earth-based observation. Hubble was our first hop up into space-based observation. Now the JWST will be a leap toward advancing our knowledge of the universe,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<h3>Release date: June 30, 2022<\/h3>\n<h2>For more information:<\/h2>\n<p>Jerry Dobek<br \/>NMC Science Department<br \/><a href=\"mailto:jdobek@nmc.edu\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">jdobek@nmc.edu<br \/><\/a><a href=\"tel:231-995-1271\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" value=\"+12319951271\">(231) 995-1271<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"nondiscrimination-notice\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3>NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY NOTICE<\/h3>\n<address>Northwestern Michigan College is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, genetic information, height, weight, marital status or veteran status in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/about\/policies\/non-discrimination\/index.html\">nmc.edu\/non-discrimination<\/a><\/address>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: The 6 p.m. expert panel program link has been updated below.
