NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), released its first full-color images and spectroscopic data on July 12, 2022. As the largest and most complex observatory ever launched into space, Webb went through a six-month period of preparation before it began science operations with 50 major deployments, careful alignment of the mirrors, and calibrating the instruments. These experts will talk about Webb's latest scientific discoveries, and how this observatory will continue to explore the uncharted territories of our cosmos, and share a never before seen image from the James Webb Space Telescope.
UVA third-year Astrophysics major Samuel Crowe holds a distinct honor-- he's one of, if not the only undergraduate Principal Investigator with access to NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Last year, his research proposal was accepted as one of just 249 programs selected to make use of the telescope's valuable time. In this episode, Sam sits down with host Ken Ono to discuss his early love for astrophysics and history, his mentors and training at UVA, and what it means to lead a project exploring the origins of massive stars.
The U.S. Postal Service has issued two new Priority Mail stamps celebrating NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the largest, most powerful, and most complex telescope ever put in space. The stamps, issued Jan. 22, feature images of the cosmos captured by Webb since it began its science mission in 2022. Webb is a mission led by NASA in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).“NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the perfect intersection of science, engineering, and art as it reveals the greatest secrets of our cosmos through the beautiful images it captures,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “With these stamps, people across the country can have their own snapshot of Webb's captivating images – and the incredible science they represent – at their fingertips, and know that they, too, are part of this ground-breaking new era in astronomy.”Orange mountain-like structures against a blue background form the Cosmic CliffsThe U.S. Postal Service issued a Priority Mail Express stamp Jan. 22, 2024, highlighting an image of the Carina Nebula from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Greg Breeding, an art director for the U.S. Postal Service, designed the stamp with an image provided by NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.US Postal ServiceThe first of the new stamps, a Priority Mail Express stamp, features Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image of the “Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula, located roughly 7,600 light-years away. The image shows emerging stellar nurseries and individual stars that were previously hidden from sight. This scene was one of the first full-color images revealed from Webb in July 2022, demonstrating the telescope's ability to peer through cosmic dust and shed new light on how stars form.The other stamp, a Priority Mail stamp, features an image of the Pillars of Creation captured by Webb's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Webb's look at this familiar landscape, which was first made famous by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, shows pillars flush with gas and dust, enshrouding stars that are slowly forming over many millennia. The Pillars of Creation is set within the vast Eagle Nebula, which lies 6,500 light-years away.These new stamps join a Forever stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2022, featuring an artist's digital illustration of Webb against a background of stars.The U.S. Postal Service stamps honor Webb's achievements as it continues its mission to explore the unknown in our universe and study every phase in cosmic history. Webb has already pulled back the curtain on some of the farthest galaxies, stars, and black holes ever observed; solved a longstanding mystery about the early universe; given us a more detailed look at the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system than ever before; and offered new views and insights into our own cosmic backyard.
Researchers analyzing images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found that galaxies in the early universe are often flat and elongated, like surfboards and pool noodles – and are rarely round, like volleyballs or frisbees. “Roughly 50 to 80% of the galaxies we studied appear to be flattened in two dimensions,” explained lead author Viraj Pandya, a NASA Hubble Fellow at Columbia University in New York. “Galaxies that look like pool noodles or surfboards seem to be very common in the early universe, which is surprising, since they are uncommon nearby.”The team focused on a vast field of near-infrared images delivered by Webb, known as the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, plucking out galaxies that are estimated to exist when the universe was 600 million to 6 billion years old.While most distant galaxies look like surfboards and pool noodles, others are shaped like frisbees and volleyballs. The “volleyballs,” or sphere-shaped galaxies, appear the most compact type on the cosmic “ocean” and were also the least frequently identified. The frisbees were found to be as large as the surfboard- and pool noodle-shaped galaxies along the “horizon,” but become more common closer to “shore” in the nearby universe. (Compare them in this illustration.)Which category would our Milky Way galaxy fall into if we were able to wind the clock back by billions of years? “Our best guess is that it might have appeared more like a surfboard,” said co-author Haowen Zhang, a PhD candidate at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This hypothesis is based partly on new evidence from Webb – theorists have “wound back the clock” to estimate the Milky Way's mass billions of years ago, which correlates with shape at that time.These distant galaxies are also far less massive than nearby spirals and ellipticals – they are precursors to more massive galaxies like our own. “In the early universe, galaxies had had far less time to grow,” said Kartheik Iyer, a co-author and NASA Hubble Fellow also at Columbia University. “Identifying additional categories for early galaxies is exciting – there's a lot more to analyze now. We can now study how galaxies' shapes relate to how they look and better project how they formed in much more detail.”Webb's sensitivity, high-resolution images, and specialization in infrared light allowed the team to make quick work of characterizing many CEERS galaxies, and model their 3D geometries. Pandya also says their work wouldn't be possible without the extensive research astronomers have done using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.For decades, Hubble has wowed us with images of some of the earliest galaxies, beginning with its first “deep field” in 1995 and continuing with a seminal survey known as Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey. Deep sky surveys like these led to far greater statistics, leading astronomers to create robust 3D models of distant galaxies over all of cosmic time. Today, Webb is helping to enhance these efforts, adding a bounty of distant galaxies beyond Hubble's reach and revealing the early universe in far greater detail than previously possible.Webb's images of the early universe have acted like an ocean swell – delivering new waves of evidence. “Hubble has long showed an excess of elongated galaxies,” explained co-author Marc Huertas-Company, a faculty research scientist at the Institute of Astrophysics on the Canary Islands. But researchers still wondered: Would additional detail show up better with sensitivity to infrared light? “Webb confirmed that Hubble didn't miss any additional features in the galaxies they both observed. Plus, Webb showed us many more distant galaxies with similar shapes, all in great detail.”There are still gaps in our knowledge – researchers not only need an even larger sample size from Webb to further refine the properties and precise locations of distant galaxies, they will also need to spend ample time tweaking and updating their models to better reflect the precise geometries of distant galaxies. “These are early results,” said co-author Elizabeth McGrath, an associate professor at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. “We need to delve more deeply into the data to figure out what's going on, but we're very excited about these early trends.”The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

From semiconductors to food science to astronomy to bioarcheology, these researchers share more about the impact Purdue has had on their monumental developments in their respective fields.
The latest image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the dense center of our galaxy in unprecedented detail, including never-before-seen features astronomers have yet to explain. The star-forming region, named Sagittarius C (Sgr C), is about 300 light-years from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*.Amid the estimated 500,000 stars in the image is a cluster of protostars – stars that are still forming and gaining mass – producing outflows that glow like a bonfire in the midst of an infrared-dark cloud. At the heart of this young cluster is a previously known, massive protostar over 30 times the mass of our Sun. The cloud the protostars are emerging from is so dense that the light from stars behind it cannot reach Webb, making it appear less crowded when in fact it is one of the most densely packed areas of the image. Smaller infrared-dark clouds dot the image, looking like holes in the starfield. That's where future stars are forming.Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument also captured large-scale emission from ionized hydrogen surrounding the lower side of the dark cloud, shown cyan-colored in the image. Typically, Crowe says, this is the result of energetic photons being emitted by young massive stars, but the vast extent of the region shown by Webb is something of a surprise that bears further investigation. Another feature of the region that Crowe plans to examine further is the needle-like structures in the ionized hydrogen, which appear oriented chaotically in many directions.“The galactic center is a crowded, tumultuous place. There are turbulent, magnetized gas clouds that are forming stars, which then impact the surrounding gas with their outflowing winds, jets, and radiation,” said Rubén Fedriani, a co-investigator of the project at the Instituto Astrofísica de Andalucía in Spain. “Webb has provided us with a ton of data on this extreme environment, and we are just starting to dig into it.”Around 25,000 light-years from Earth, the galactic center is close enough to study individual stars with the Webb telescope, allowing astronomers to gather unprecedented information on how stars form, and how this process may depend on the cosmic environment, especially compared to other regions of the galaxy. For example, are more massive stars formed in the center of the Milky Way, as opposed to the edges of its spiral arms?“The image from Webb is stunning, and the science we will get from it is even better,” Crowe said. “Massive stars are factories that produce heavy elements in their nuclear cores, so understanding them better is like learning the origin story of much of the universe.”This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5953955/advertisement

Webb's study of the second-brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen reveals tellurium.A team of scientists has used multiple space and ground-based telescopes, including NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, and NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, to observe an exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst, GRB 230307A, and identify the neutron star merger that generated an explosion that created the burst. Webb also helped scientists detect the chemical element tellurium in the explosion's aftermath.Image: Gamma-Ray Burst 230307AThis image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument highlights Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 230307A and its associated kilonova, as well as its former home galaxy, among their local environment of other galaxies and foreground stars. The GRB likely was powered by the merger of two neutron stars. The neutron stars were kicked out of their home galaxy and traveled the distance of about 120,000 light-years, approximately the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, before finally merging several hundred million years later.Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, A. Levan (Radboud University and University of Warwick).Other elements near tellurium on the periodic table – like iodine, which is needed for much of life on Earth – are also likely to be present among the kilonova's ejected material. A kilonova is an explosion produced by a neutron star merging with either a black hole or with another neutron star.“Just over 150 years since Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down the periodic table of elements, we are now finally in the position to start filling in those last blanks of understanding where everything was made, thanks to Webb,” said Andrew Levan of Radboud University in the Netherlands and the University of Warwick in the UK, lead author of the study.While neutron star mergers have long been theorized as being the ideal “pressure cookers” to create some of the rarer elements substantially heavier than iron, astronomers have previously encountered a few obstacles in obtaining solid evidence.Long Gamma-Ray BurstKilonovae are extremely rare, making it difficult to observe these events. Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), traditionally thought to be those that last less than two seconds, can be byproducts of these infrequent merger episodes. (In contrast, long gamma-ray bursts may last several minutes and are usually associated with the explosive death of a massive star.)The case of GRB 230307A is particularly remarkable. First detected by Fermi in March, it is the second brightest GRB observed in over 50 years of observations, about 1,000 times brighter than a typical gamma-ray burst that Fermi observes. It also lasted for 200 seconds, placing it firmly in the category of long duration gamma-ray bursts, despite its different origin.“This burst is way into the long category. It's not near the border. But it seems to be coming from a merging neutron star,” added Eric Burns, a co-author of the paper and member of the Fermi team at Louisiana State University.Opportunity: Telescope CollaborationThe collaboration of many telescopes on the ground and in space allowed scientists to piece together a wealth of information about this event as soon as the burst was first detected. It is an example of how satellites and telescopes work together to witness changes in the universe as they unfold. After the first detection, an intensive series of observations from the ground and from space, including with Swift, swung into action to pinpoint the source on the sky and track how its brightness changed. These observations in the gamma-ray, X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio showed that the optical/infrared counterpart was faint, evolved quickly, and became very red – the hallmarks of a kilonova.“This type of explosion is very rapid, with the material in the explosion also expanding swiftly,” said Om Sharan Salafia, a co-author of the study at the INAF – Brera Astronomical Observatory in Italy. “As the whole cloud expands, the material cools off quickly and the peak of its light becomes visible in infrared, and becomes redder on timescales of days to weeks.”Image: Killanova – Webb vs ModelThis graphic presentation compares the spectral data of GRB 230307A's kilonova as observed by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and a kilonova model. Both show a distinct peak in the region of the spectrum associated with tellurium, with the area shaded in red. The detection of tellurium, which is rarer than platinum on Earth, marks Webb's first direct look at an individual heavy element from a kilonova.Illustration: NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI).At later times it would have been impossible to study this kilonova from the ground, but these were the perfect conditions for Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instruments to observe this tumultuous environment. The spectrum has broad lines that show the material is ejected at high speeds, but one feature is clear: light emitted by tellurium, an element rarer than platinum on Earth.The highly sensitive infrared capabilities of Webb helped scientists identify the home address of the two neutron stars that created the kilonova: a spiral galaxy about 120,000 light-years away from the site of the merger.Prior to their venture, they were once two normal massive stars that formed a binary system in their home spiral galaxy. Since the duo was gravitationally bound, both stars were launched together on two separate occasions: when one among the pair exploded as a supernova and became a neutron star, and when the other star followed suit.In this case, the neutron stars remained as a binary system despite two explosive jolts and were kicked out of their home galaxy. The pair traveled approximately the equivalent of the Milky Way galaxy's diameter before merging several hundred million years later.Scientists expect to find even more kilonovae in the future due to the increasing opportunities to have space and ground-based telescopes work in complementary ways to study changes in the universe. For example, while Webb can peer deeper into space than ever before, the remarkable field of view of NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will enable astronomers to scout where and how frequently these explosions occur.“Webb provides a phenomenal boost and may find even heavier elements,” said Ben Gompertz, a co-author of the study at the University of Birmingham in the UK. “As we get more frequent observations, the models will improve and the spectrum may evolve more in time. Webb has certainly opened the door to do a lot more, and its abilities will be completely transformative for our understanding of the universe.”These findings have been published in the journal Nature.The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.

In this episode of “This Is Purdue,” we're talking to Danny Milisavljevic, associate professor of physics and astronomy in Purdue University's College of Science. This marks the third episode in our Purdue Research Series, which shares how Purdue provides practical solutions to the world's toughest challenges. Danny's love of space dates back to his days as a crayon-wielding kid writing up an elementary school report on the solar system. Combined with his research in school library encyclopedias, the illustrations he created gave him a sense of being able to touch and understand these far-off planets. Fast-forward to today, and Danny is using the most powerful telescopes on the planet to better understand the universe. His work, which has been featured on “60 Minutes” and other national outlets, includes leading an international research team to explore a remnant of a supernova explosion in the Milky Way, Cassiopeia A, with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. As much as Danny loves understanding this vast and complex universe we inhabit, he takes equal joy in sharing its wonders with students – whether it's rare discoveries like a star-destroying black hole nicknamed “Scary Barbie” or just looking up at the moon on a clear night through a telescope in his backyard. Buckle in, because this episode is taking you for a ride across the Milky Way – and Danny's enthusiasm alone is enough to power the whole trip!

The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a spacecraft designed to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy across far reaches of the universe. The launch of ESA's Euclid spacecraft is set for July 1. It will lift off from Florida's Cape Canaveral launch center aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Euclid is a space telescope built to act as an orbiting observatory. It will gather data scientists hope to use to create a 3D map of the universe. The spacecraft is expected to observe activities in billions of galaxies and help researchers learn more about how the universe developed over the past 10 billion years. The main goal of the Euclid mission is to study the effects and activities of dark energy and dark matter – both of which are considered mysterious forces in the universe. This is because neither of these two materials can be directly seen or felt.欧洲航天局(ESA)正准备发射一艘航天器,旨在研究宇宙深处暗物质和暗能量的奥秘。ESA 的 Euclid 航天器定于 7 月 1 日发射。它将搭乘 SpaceX Falcon 9 火箭从佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角发射中心升空。欧几里得是一架太空望远镜,旨在充当轨道天文台。它将收集科学家希望用来创建宇宙 3D 地图的数据。该航天器预计将观测数十亿个星系的活动,并帮助研究人员更多地了解宇宙在过去 100 亿年中是如何发展的。欧几里得任务的主要目标是研究暗能量和暗物质的影响和活动——这两者都被认为是宇宙中的神秘力量。这是因为这两种材料都不能直接看到或感觉到。Astronomers believe dark energy makes up about 68 percent of the universe, while dark matter makes up around 27 percent, the American space agency NASA reports. But beyond that, very little is known about the two “dark” elements. Dark energy is an unidentifiable form of energy that scientists believe is responsible for helping the universe expand. Dark matter is a material that also affects the expansion of the universe. Astronomers have theorized that dark matter exists because of gravity's observed effects on galaxies and groups of galaxies. Leaders of the mission say Euclid was built to collect data on how the universe “has expanded and how structure has formed over cosmic history,” an ESA statement says. With this information, scientists will attempt to explain some of the properties of dark energy, dark matter and gravity, the statement added. The Euclid spacecraft is 4.7 meters tall and 3.7 meters around. It contains two main parts, called modules. One module is made up of a telescope and two scientific instruments. The other contains satellite systems, power controllers, data processors and other equipment.据美国宇航局 NASA 报告,天文学家认为暗能量约占宇宙的 68%,而暗物质约占 27%。但除此之外,人们对这两种“黑暗”元素知之甚少。暗能量是一种无法识别的能量形式,科学家认为它有助于宇宙膨胀。暗物质是一种也会影响宇宙膨胀的物质。天文学家推测暗物质的存在是由于观测到引力对星系和星系团的影响。欧洲航天局的一份声明称,该任务的领导者表示,欧几里得的建立是为了收集有关宇宙“如何膨胀以及宇宙历史上的结构如何形成”的数据。声明补充说,利用这些信息,科学家将尝试解释暗能量、暗物质和引力的一些特性。欧几里得飞船高4.7米,周长3.7米。它包含两个主要部分,称为模块。一个模块由一台望远镜和两台科学仪器组成。另一个包含卫星系统、电源控制器、数据处理器和其他设备。Euclid will travel to an orbiting spot about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. The area is called the second Lagrangian Point. This is where NASA's James Webb Space Telescope operates from, as well as ESA's orbiting observatory Gaia. Mission leaders say Euclid will capture images in optical and near-infrared light. The images will cover about one-third of the universe beyond our Milky Way galaxy. The quality of the images is expected to be “at least four times sharper” than others captured by ground-based telescopes, the team said. These images will be used to create a new, detailed 3D map of the universe. The first images are expected to be sent back quickly once the spacecraft's operations begin in October. In addition to studying dark matter and dark energy, Euclid will use its infrared instruments to collect data on hundreds of millions of galaxies and stars. Astronomers say this will permit them to investigate the chemical makeup and motion behaviors of many different space objects and environments in greater detail.欧几里得将前往距地球约 150 万公里的轨道点。该区域被称为第二拉格朗日点。这里是美国宇航局詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜以及欧洲航天局盖亚轨道观测站的所在地。任务负责人表示,欧几里得将利用光学和近红外光捕捉图像。这些图像将覆盖银河系以外约三分之一的宇宙。该团队表示,这些图像的质量预计将比地面望远镜捕获的其他图像“至少清晰四倍”。这些图像将用于创建新的、详细的 3D 宇宙地图。一旦航天器十月份开始运行,第一批图像预计将很快传回。除了研究暗物质和暗能量外,欧几里德还将利用其红外仪器收集数亿个星系和恒星的数据。天文学家表示,这将使他们能够更详细地研究许多不同空间物体和环境的化学组成和运动行为。NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is also based on powerful, but sensitive, infrared technology. This has permitted the telescope to collect data and produce images from parts of the universe that were never observable before.美国宇航局的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜也基于强大但敏感的红外技术。这使得望远镜能够从宇宙中以前从未观测到的部分收集数据并生成图像。

Speaking with astrophysicists and astronomers, Pelley reports on the telescope's discoveries of distant galaxies, including one that's over 33 billion light years away, and an observation that, if confirmed, could upend the belief on how the universe formed and more. In the days of the Roman Coliseum, they called it “Bread and Circuses”—leaders using entertainment to distract citizens from genuine problems. Today, Saudi Arabia is accused of using the same tactic with a different name: "sportswashing." Is the Kingdom diversifying its economy, as they insist, or covering up human rights abuses and political repression? Jon Wertheim traveled to Saudi Arabia to find out. Four years after the Cathedral of Notre Dame was nearly destroyed by fire, Bill Whitaker returns to Paris to witness the resurrection of the medieval structure and powerful symbol of France.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Researchers observing with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed silicate cloud features in a distant planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere is constantly rising, mixing, and moving during its 22-hour day, bringing hotter material up and pushing colder material down. The resulting brightness changes are so dramatic that it is the most variable planetary-mass object known to date. The team, led by Brittany Miles of the University of Arizona, also made extraordinarily clear detections of water, methane and carbon monoxide with Webb's data, and found evidence of carbon dioxide. This is the largest number of molecules ever identified all at once on a planet outside our solar system. Cataloged as VHS 1256 b, the planet is about 40 light-years away and orbits not one, but two stars over a 10,000-year period. “VHS 1256 b is about four times farther from its stars than Pluto is from our Sun, which makes it a great target for Webb,” Miles said. “That means the planet's light is not mixed with light from its stars.” Higher up in its atmosphere, where the silicate clouds are churning, temperatures reach a scorching 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (830 degrees Celsius).

Edizione StraordinariaGoogle ha lanciato Bard e domani seguirò in diretta l'evento di Google sull'AI per il WMF, lo trovate qui. Sicuramente ne parleranno. Ma intanto ne approfitto per un contributo che possa in qualche modo divulgare una più corretta informazione di quello che sta avvenendo. Perché il rischio è di non comprendere a quale rivoluzione stiamo andando incontro.Tutti scriveranno che è il competitor di ChatGPT, ma non lo è. Sta nascendo un nuovo modo di ricerca, una ricerca più profonda, un ibrido tra la Ricerca classica con informazioni veloci e una Ricerca più profonda.Ma aldilà di questo, questa edizione straordinaria vuole fare una cosa. Prenderò l'articolo di Google per spiegarlo, perché chi non studia l'evoluzione di Google da molti anni non capisce cosa sta accadendo e pensa cosa assurde. Lo commenterò frase per frase. Partiamo. L'articolo è ovviamente a firma di Sunder Pichai, diventato CEO proprio per portare Google nell'era dell'AI. Infatti ci lavorano da molti anni: affermare che Google è indietro è come affermare che un qualsiasi attaccante oggi di serie B è più “avanti" di Maradona.IntroduzioneAI is the most profound technology we are working on today. Whether it's helping doctors detect diseases earlier or enabling people to access information in their own language, AI helps people, businesses and communities unlock their potential. And it opens up new opportunities that could significantly improve billions of lives. That's why we re-oriented the company around AI six years ago — and why we see it as the most important way we can deliver on our mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.Qui abbiamo 3 cose molto importanti da sottolineare. Prima di tutto, la mission.Quando 2 anni fa gli è stato chiesto come farà Google a fare il prossimo trilione di dollari la sua risposta è stata che non ha paura di niente, perché la mission che hanno li rende sempre un passo avanti a tutti. E che li faranno declinando l'AI in tutti i loro prodotti.La seconda cosa infatti da notare è quel “we re-oriented the company around AI six years ago”. Non è un anno a caso. È inizio del 2017. Pichai è diventato CEO nel 2015 proprio con questo compito e il 2017 è l'anno in cui hanno ideato un nuovo metodo di DeepLearning: Transformer. Lo hanno rilasciato anche OpenSource.Grazie a quel metodo, che è alla base di ChatGPT, dal 2017 lo hanno iniziato a usare a declinare in varie cose. Ripetete con me questa cosa: Google ha inventato qualcosa che ha rilasciato open source e l'ha innovata internamente con molte cose che stiamo per vedere. Altri hanno presa questa cosa e l'hanno appiccicata. Google la innova, declina in tutti prodotti, usando tutte le informazioni che ha: i più grandi database della storia dell'umanità. Altri fanno scraping di dati.La terza cosa e più potente: AI helps people. Scoprire prime le malattie, imparare nella propria lingua qualsiasi cosa, aiutare business e community.Come sempre la visione di Google è una di quelle che ci dice che è qui per restare. * A Google non importa di avere un'applicazione, lui vuole avere il software e l'hardware. * Google non vuole Amazon, ma una piattaforma per tutti i negozi del mondo, online e offline.* Ora con l'AI, Google si è aperta all'open source e il suo interesse oltre all'evoluzione del settore è quello di poter aiutare lo sviluppo dell'AI in qualsiasi ambito. Vedrete l'API di questi sistemi. Vedrete i sorgenti.A Google non importa un fico secco delle singole cose, Google costruisce ecosistemi che possano inglobare le singole cose di tutti. Google vuole essere come l'aria per noi esseri umani. Mi concedete un attimo di arroganza? Lo so, tanti sperano nell'arrivo di qualcosa che rompa lo status quo. Ma fatemelo dire: siete incompetenti se pensate che possa essere ChatGPT. O il Metaverso. ChatGPT non supererà Google, perché non sapete nemmeno cosa sia Google. Consiglio di cambiare mestiere se vi occupate di Internet. Andiamo al secondo pezzo dell'introduzione. Ah sì, siamo solo all'inizio.Since then we've continued to make investments in AI across the board, and Google AI and DeepMind are advancing the state of the art. Today, the scale of the largest AI computations is doubling every six months, far outpacing Moore's Law. At the same time, advanced generative AI and large language models are capturing the imaginations of people around the world. In fact, our Transformer research project and our field-defining paper in 2017, as well as our important advances in diffusion models, are now the basis of many of the generative AI applications you're starting to see today.Sono 100 miliardi i dollari investiti da Google negli ultimi anni sull'AI. Ciò che ha fatto andare avanti nello sviluppo degli attuali modelli di deep learning è proprio questo. Noi lo stiamo vedendo oggi perché quelli di OpenAI hanno deciso di rendere pubblica una versione molto problematica che spara cazzate.La responsabilità di tutto questo dove sta?Le persone entusiaste di questo hanno capito che danno potrebbe fare questo modo di rilasciare questo metodo di Intelligenza Artificiale?Siamo sempre alle solite comunque. Sono stati degli irresponsabili. Lo vediamo in quello che sta accadendo in ogni conversazione. Un giorno discuteremo se hanno fatto più disinformazione i film sull'AI o OpenAI con ChatGPT.Far approcciare tutto il mondo a questo metodo senza occuparsi di come rafforzano i bias cognitivi, come ne hanno creati di nuovi, che pericoli può portare a come pensiamo sull'AI…Contenti voi.Introducing BardIt's a really exciting time to be working on these technologies as we translate deep research and breakthroughs into products that truly help people. That's the journey we've been on with large language models. Two years ago we unveiled next-generation language and conversation capabilities powered by our Language Model for Dialogue Applications (or LaMDA for short).We've been working on an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA, that we're calling Bard. And today, we're taking another step forward by opening it up to trusted testers ahead of making it more widely available to the public in the coming weeks.Truly help people. La quantità di persone che sta cercando di spiegare come usare ChatGPT e si spende per una sana divulgazione è la dimostrazione dei problemi che stiamo incontrando. In che modo può aiutarci un metodo di AI del genere è da valutare.LaMDA è stato creato appositamente per il dialogo ed è stato presentato nel 2021 dove fece scalpore. Lo spiegò Alessio Pomaro nel 2021.Google qui ci va calma: lo faranno testare per avere dei feedback e migliorarlo.Non andranno a renderlo pubblico perché ci sono molti pericoli che vanno assolutamente considerati. Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses. Bard can be an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old, or learn more about the best strikers in football right now, and then get drills to build your skills.Ma ecco come si differenzia Bard. Non combina un set di dati rubati in giro. Combina la più grande ed ampia conoscenza del mondo. È abbastanza chiaro quando dico che hanno i più grandi database della storia dell'umanità?E con cosa? Con la migliore tecnologia che hanno e che dal 2017 hanno migliorato parecchio. E con risposte aggiornate e di qualità.Ovviamente Google è basata anche sul migliorare tutto in base all'uso che facciamo noi dei suoi prodotti. Quindi la loro evoluzione non è solo basata sui dipartimenti di innovazione, ma è anche attraverso di noi.Google Search è così perché noi abbiamo dato un contributo devastante, per chi è un po' più tecnico mi ha sentito spesso dire che tutti noi siamo dei Quality Rater.Ecco: immaginate cosa accadrà ora.Non solo Google oggi ha uno dei modelli più avanzati: è progettato per evolversi insieme a noi.Un po' come accaduto con Search, Android, Chrome e tanti altri. Sono arrivati dopo, non prima. E hanno sbaragliato tutti. E fa comodo anche con l'antitrust.We're releasing it initially with our lightweight model version of LaMDA. This much smaller model requires significantly less computing power, enabling us to scale to more users, allowing for more feedback. We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information. We're excited for this phase of testing to help us continue to learn and improve Bard's quality and speed.E qui entriamo in un altro tema affascinante. La versione attuale è una versione più leggera. In questo modo richiede meno sforzo e più scalabile e avranno più feedback.Si parla da molto dei famosi 3 milioni al giorno per mantenere ChatGPT o della non sostenibilità e quanto tutto questo costa a noi, costa al Pianeta. La sostenibilità è uno dei valori di Google.Inoltre Google ha il suo hardware e il suo computer quantistico che sta sviluppando.Non potrà essere così per sempre: Google dovrà migliorare qualità e velocità, perché sono due punti chiave per loro. E dovrà essere sostenibile.Andatevi a

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Space Launch System have been named 2022 TIME Inventions of the Year.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has produced amazing images in its first 5 months, but amazing science as well. Roland hears from one of the leading astronomers on the JWST programme, Dr Heidi Hammel, as well as other experts on what they are already learning about the first galaxies in the Universe, the birth places of stars, the strange behaviour of some other stars, and the first view of Neptune's rings in over 30 years. Over the past 12 months, CrowdScience has travelled the world, from arctic glacierscapes to equatorial deserts, to answer listeners' science queries. Sometimes, the team come across tales that don't quite fit with the quest in hand, but still draw a laugh, or a gasp. In this show, Marnie Chesterton revisits those stories, with members of the CrowdScience crew. Alex the Parrot was a smart bird, with an impressive vocabulary and the ability to count and do basic maths. He was also intimidating and mean to a younger parrot, Griffin, who didn't have the same grasp of the English language. Scientist Irene Pepperberg shares the consequence of this work-place bullying. Take a tour of the disaster room at ICPAC, the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) based in Nairobi, Kenya. It's a new building where scientists keep watch for weird new weather and passes that information to 11 East African countries. Viola Otieno is an Earth Observation (EO) Expert and she explained how they track everything from cyclones to clouds of desert locust. Malcolm MacCallum is curator of the Anatomical Museum at Edinburgh University in Scotland, which holds a collection of death masks and skull casts used by the Edinburgh Phrenological Society. Phrenology was a pseudoscience, popular in the 1820s, where individuals attempted to elucidate peoples' proclivities and personalities by the shape of their heads. We see what the phrenologists had to say about Sir Isaac Newton and the “worst pirate” John Tardy. While recording on Greenland's icesheet, the CrowdScience team were told by Professor Jason Box about “party ice.” 40,000 year old glacial ice is a superior garnish for your cocktail than normal freezer ice, apparently. This starts a quest for the perfect Arctic cocktail. (Image: Young stars form from clouds of interstellar gas and dust in the stellar "nursery" of the Carina Nebula.

With giant storms, powerful winds, auroras, and extreme temperature and pressure conditions, Jupiter has a lot going on. Now, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured new images of the planet. Webb's Jupiter observations will give scientists even more clues to Jupiter's inner life. “We hadn't really expected it to be this good, to be honest,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley. De Pater led the observations of Jupiter with Thierry Fouchet, a professor at the Paris Observatory, as part of an international collaboration for Webb's Early Release Science program. Webb itself...

Hear sounds created from images by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, in this updated episode! The biggest space telescope in the universe had a busy summer, wowing us with incredible images of the cosmos like we've never seen before. But it took a lot of work to get there! Learn about it in this episode, originally released in December 2021. Hear more Webb sound here. Watch the launch here. See Webb's first images here. How do you launch the largest space telescope ever built into space? The James Webb Space Telescope will travel 1.5 million miles away from Earth to help answer some of our biggest questions about the universe. But first, it has to be launched on a rocket - and the telescope is too big to fit on a rocket. So NASA decided to fold it up - and then unfold it in space. How? NASA scientist Knicole Colón and NASA engineer Alphonso Stewart take us on a journey through the world's biggest origami project.

In November of 1990, Toby Goodman—producer of the Kathy Sullivan Explores podcast and CEO of Podcast Network Solutions—received a gift from his father for his 10th birthday. It was a telescope: an item with a purpose and capacity for evoking awe that no other toy had. It was no surprise that telescopes filled the shelves of toy stores in London: a few months before receiving the gift, Toby explains, the Hubble Space Telescope had launched, captivating the wonder of people from all walks of life. On July 12, 2022, a new era in astronomy dawned. The first full-color images and spectroscopic data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope were released, capturing yet again the minds and imaginations of people the world over. In this episode, you'll learn about the history of space telescopes and what the images from the James Webb Space Telescope mean for humanity. We compare and contrast the physical attributes and functions of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. You'll gain insight into the life and design expectancies of the space telescopes and how the Hubble has changed over the years. We also discuss the value of images from space telescopes and how they shape peoples' perspectives about humanity's place in the cosmos. “Those specks aren't stars. They're galaxies—thousands of them in this little piece of sky you've always thought was empty.” - Kathy Sullivan This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: The contributions of Edwin Hubble to astronomy The Hubble Constant and how to figure out the distance of galaxies James Webb, his role at NASA, and the importance of honoring pioneers Comparing the physical attributes of the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope How the James Webb Space Telescope observes objects the naked eye can't see The challenges of building a spacecraft The threads of continuity between the Hubble and Webb space telescopes How the first images from Hubble captured the popular imagination How the James Webb Space Telescope sees farther into the universe and further back in time How scientists decide where to focus the space telescopes The reason I wrote Handprints on Hubble A brief history of space telescopes and the problem of looking at the cosmos from the earth The ‘Endless Frontier' report and how it shaped the American astronomical enterprise Nancy Grace Roman: NASA's first Chief Astronomer and Mother of Hubble How the Hubble Space Telescope has changed since its launch The distance of the Hubble and Webb space telescopes from the earth The life and design expectancies of the Hubble and Webb space telescopes How to see the Hubble Space Telescope from the earth How to use the Hubble Space Telescope as an amateur astronomer The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field The value of astronomy to human lives Resources Mentioned: You Should Do a Podcast about That Our Favorite Quotes: “[The] telescope…had a purpose about it. With it came a built-in excitement of seeing faraway places that provoked dreams about what it was like to be an explorer in outer space.” - Toby Goodman “NASA's job is to push back the frontiers of science and knowledge about the cosmos, the solar system, and our place in it.” - Kathy Sullivan Connect with Toby Goodman: Podcast Network Solutions Narrow Podcasting Podcast: Podcast Business Coach Book: Narrow Podcasting: Make Profitable Connections and Grow your Business, Without Paid Ads, Sponsors, or Thousands of Listeners Podcast Network Solutions on LinkedIn Podcast Network Solutions on Facebook Toby Goodman on Instagram Spaceship Not Required I'm Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has released its first images that show stars and galaxies never before seen. Some are believed to be more than 4 billion years old. Today's January 6 Select Committee hearing focuses on extremist groups. The Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys were galvanized by Trump's call to overturn the 2020 election results. Yosemite's Washburn Fire has scorched 3,000 acres. To stave off the worst damage, should California focus on putting out current fires or preventing them in the first place? Do you remember blossoming from a dorky middle school kid into an attractive teenager who's suddenly getting attention? A new Amazon Prime Video series explores that transition. Italy's cipolle alla parmigiana is a cheesy, saucy pile of onion rings that are irresistible. The dish honors the local Cannara variety of red onion in the Umbria area.
In just DAYS (July 12, 2022), NASA will release the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope for the WORLD to enjoy …and Dean and Beth are on the edge of their seats (making bets on what we're about to see) and what it will mean for space exploration when we look further into the universe than ever before. The world's largest and most complex space science observatory will now begin six months of commissioning in space! At the end of commissioning, Webb will deliver its first images. Webb carries four state-of-the-art science instruments with highly sensitive infrared detectors of unprecedented resolution. Webb will study infrared light from celestial objects with much greater clarity than ever before. The premier mission is the scientific successor to NASA's iconic Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, built to complement and further the scientific discoveries of these and other missions. AT THE TIME OF THIS RECORDING, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS NOT YET RELEASED FROM NASA, but check out what NASA has planned to look at in the universe! HERE IS THE LIST! NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will soon reveal unprecedented and detailed views of the universe, with the upcoming release of its first full-color images and spectroscopic data. Below is the list of cosmic objects that Webb targeted for these first observations, which will be released in NASA's live broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday, July 12. Each image will simultaneously be made available on social media as well as on the agency's website. These listed targets below represent the first wave of full-color scientific images and spectra the observatory has gathered, and the official beginning of Webb's general science operations. They were selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Carina Nebula. The Carina Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, located approximately 7,600 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. Nebulae are stellar nurseries where stars form. The Carina Nebula is home to many massive stars, several times larger than the Sun. WASP-96 b (spectrum). WASP-96 b is a giant planet outside our solar system, composed mainly of gas. The planet, located nearly 1,150 light-years from Earth, orbits its star every 3.4 days. It has about half the mass of Jupiter, and its discovery was announced in 2014. Southern Ring Nebula. The Southern Ring, or “Eight-Burst” nebula, is a planetary nebula – an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star. It is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is located approximately 2,000 light years away from Earth. Stephan's Quintet: About 290 million light-years away, Stephan's Quintet is located in the constellation Pegasus. It is notable for being the first compact galaxy group ever discovered in 1877. Four of the five galaxies within the quintet are locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters. SMACS 0723: Massive foreground galaxy clusters magnify and distort the light of objects behind them, permitting a deep field view into both the extremely distant and intrinsically faint galaxy populations. About James Webb Space Telescope The James Webb Space Telescope's revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Webb's infrared telescope will explore a wide range of science questions to help us understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. Webb will directly observe a part of space and time never seen before. Webb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago. Ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the very first luminous objects has been stretched or “redshifted” by the universe's continual expansion and arrives today as infrared light. Webb is designed to “see” this infrared light with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Webb will also be a powerful tool for studying the nearby universe. Scientists will use Webb to study planets and other bodies in our solar system to determine their origin and evolution and compare them with exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars. Webb will also observe exoplanets located in their stars' habitable zones, the regions where a planet could harbor liquid water on its surface, and can determine if and where signatures of habitability may be present. Using a technique called transmission spectroscopy, the observatory will examine starlight filtered through planetary atmospheres to learn about their chemical compositions.

It was finished years late at a cost far higher than planned, but NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which launched Dec. 25, may usher in a new era in astronomy as it gathers information on the universe's earliest stages, the formation of stars, and whether planets beyond our solar system may be suitable for life. The orbiting infrared observatory, designed to be about 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, blasted off on Dec. 25 on an Ariane 5 rocket from a site in French Guiana, on South America's northeastern coast. “We're about to go on this amazing journey of discovery,” said astronomer Klaus Pontoppidan, a Webb project scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. “We really mean discovery because Webb has the raw power to reveal the unexpected. We can plan what we think we're going to see. But at the end of the day we know that nature will surprise us more often than not.” The telescope, boasting four scientific instruments, is an international collaboration led by NASA in partnership with the European and Canadian space agencies. Northrop Grumman Corp. is the primary contractor. The launch vehicle is part of the European contribution. It was developed at a cost of $8.8 billion (¥1 trillion), with operational expenses projected to bring its total price tag to about $9.66 billion (¥1.1 trillion). The U.S. Government Accountability Office said the price has nearly doubled since NASA established a cost baseline in 2009 after earlier cost overruns. NASA had hoped to launch it in 2011, but the date was repeatedly delayed. (Reuters) To be continued… This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

On Christmas morning, NASA presented (launched) an incredible gift people of the WOLRD will be able to enjoy …The James Webb Space Telescope. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launched at 7:20 a.m. EST Saturday, December 25 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, South America. On this episode of Casual Space, Beth and (resident space expert) Dean geek out on all things JWST! The world's largest and most complex space science observatory will now begin six months of commissioning in space! At the end of commissioning, Webb will deliver its first images. Webb carries four state-of-the-art science instruments with highly sensitive infrared detectors of unprecedented resolution. Webb will study infrared light from celestial objects with much greater clarity than ever before. The premier mission is the scientific successor to NASA's iconic Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, built to complement and further the scientific discoveries of these and other missions. About James Webb Space Telescope The James Webb Space Telescope's revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Webb's infrared telescope will explore a wide range of science questions to help us understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. Webb will directly observe a part of space and time never seen before. Webb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago. Ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the very first luminous objects has been stretched or “redshifted” by the universe's continual expansion and arrives today as infrared light. Webb is designed to “see” this infrared light with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Webb will also be a powerful tool for studying the nearby universe. Scientists will use Webb to study planets and other bodies in our solar system to determine their origin and evolution and compare them with exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars. Webb will also observe exoplanets located in their stars' habitable zones, the regions where a planet could harbor liquid water on its surface, and can determine if and where signatures of habitability may be present. Using a technique called transmission spectroscopy, the observatory will examine starlight filtered through planetary atmospheres to learn about their chemical compositions.

The James Webb Space Telescope's mirrors are almost in place and soon it'll be a million miles away from Earth, ready to provide clues to the history of the universe. Naturally, many scientists have research they'd like to do that involve the telescope. Today on the show, Emily talks with correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce about who gets time on it, and how decision-makers are working to stay focused on the proposed science instead of who will be doing it, in the hopes of making the process fair for all proposals.For more of Nell's reporting, check out, Who gets to use NASA's James Webb Space Telescope?

That's Cool News | A weekly breakdown of positive Science & Tech news.
Launch Day From Nasa.gov: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launched at 7:20 a.m. EST Saturday (Dec. 25th) on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, South America.A joint effort with ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency, The Webb observatory is NASA's revolutionary flagship mission to seek the light from the first galaxies in the early universe and to explore our own solar system, as well as planets orbiting other stars, called exoplanets. Ground teams began receiving telemetry data from Webb about five minutes after launch.` Approximately 30 minutes after launch, Webb unfolded its solar array, and mission managers confirmed that the solar array was providing power to the observatory. Engineers and ground controllers will conduct the first of three mid-course correction burns about 12.5 hours after launchFiring thrusters to maneuver the spacecraft on an optimal trajectory toward its destination in orbit about 1 million miles from Earth. Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2) The world's largest and most complex space science observatory will now begin six months of commissioning in space. At the end of commissioning, Webb will deliver its first images. Webb's program director at NASA Headquarters, Gregory L. Robinson, talks about the launch: “The launch of the Webb Space Telescope is a pivotal moment – this is just the beginning for the Webb mission … Now we will watch Webb's highly anticipated and critical 29 days on the edge. When the spacecraft unfurls in space, Webb will undergo the most difficult and complex deployment sequence ever attempted in space. Once commissioning is complete, we will see awe-inspiring images that will capture our imagination.” The Time Machine from The Conversation: Benefit of the James Webb Telescope, and most space telescopes, is that they are time machines.Any light that hits a telescope (i.e. image) you will be looking at old light. For instance looking at an object 10,000 light years away if you have an image you will be looking at 10,000 years in the past.Light would take 10,000 years to reach Earth. The further out in space astronomers look, the further back in time we are looking.JWST is trying to look FAR back. JWST is specifically designed to try to look at light from the end of the Dark Ages by detecting the faint infrared light of the earliest stars or galaxies. Dark Ages: Around 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe was 10 million light years across and the temperature had cooled to 5,500 F (3,000 C). The universe would have been glowing dull red like a giant heat lamp. As the expanding universe became bigger and colder, the high energy particles thinned out and everything faded to black. The Dark Ages ended when gravity formed the first stars and galaxies that eventually began to emit the first light. Compared to massive, bright galaxies of today, the first objects (i.e stars & galaxies) were very small. Additionally, due to the constant expansion of the universe, they're now tens of billions of light years away from Earth. This leads to the why infrared is important:As the universe expands, it continuously stretches the wavelength of light traveling through it. That leads to a “

Some have called NASA's James Webb Space Telescope the “telescope that ate astronomy.” It is the most powerful space telescope ever built and a complex piece of mechanical origami that has pushed the limits of human engineering. On Dec. 18, 2021, after years of delays and billions of dollars in cost overruns, the telescope is scheduled to launch into orbit and usher in the next era of astronomy. I'm an astronomer with a specialty in observational cosmology—I've been studying distant galaxies for 30 years. Some of the biggest unanswered questions about the universe relate to its early years just after the Big Bang. When did the first stars and galaxies form? Which came first, and why? I am incredibly excited that astronomers may soon uncover the story of how galaxies started because James Webb was built specifically to answer these very questions. The ‘Dark Ages' of the Universe Excellent evidence shows that the universe started with an event called the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, which left it in an ultra-hot, ultra-dense state. The universe immediately began expanding after the Big Bang, cooling as it did so. One second after the Big Bang, the universe was a hundred trillion miles across with an average temperature of an incredible 18 billion degrees Fahrenheit (10 billion degrees Celsius). Around 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe was 10 million light-years across and the temperature had cooled to 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius). If anyone had been there to see it at this point, the universe would have been glowing dull red like a giant heat lamp. Throughout this time, space was filled with a smooth soup of high energy particles, radiation, hydrogen, and helium. There was no structure. As the expanding universe became bigger and colder, the soup thinned out and everything faded to black. This was the start of what astronomers call the Dark Ages of the universe. The soup of the Dark Ages was not perfectly uniform and due to gravity, tiny areas of gas began to clump together and become more dense. The smooth universe became lumpy and these small clumps of denser gas were seeds for the eventual formation of stars, galaxies, and everything else in the universe. Although there was nothing to see, the Dark Ages were an important phase in the evolution of the universe. Looking for the First light The Dark Ages ended when gravity formed the first stars and galaxies that eventually began to emit the first light. Although astronomers don't know when first light happened, the best guess is that it was several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Astronomers also don't know whether stars or galaxies formed first. Current theories based on how gravity forms structure in a universe dominated by dark matter suggest that small objects—like stars and star clusters—likely formed first and then later grew into dwarf galaxies and then larger galaxies like the Milky Way. These first stars in the universe were extreme objects compared to stars of today. They were a million times brighter but they lived very short lives. They burned hot and bright and when they died, they left behind black holes up to a hundred times the Sun's mass, which might have acted as the seeds for galaxy formation. Astronomers would love to study this fascinating and important era of the universe, but detecting first light is incredibly challenging. Compared today's massive, bright galaxies, the first objects were very small and due to the constant expansion of the universe, they're now tens of billions of light-years away from Earth. Also, the earliest stars were surrounded by gas left over from their formation and this gas acted like fog that absorbed most of the light. It took several hundred million years for radiation to blast away the fog. This early light is very faint by the time it gets to Earth. But this is not the only challenge. As the universe expands, it continuously stretches the wavelength of light traveling through...

Later this year, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will be strapped to a French rocket and launched nearly one million miles into space to look at galaxies formed 300 million years after the Big Bang. The telescope employs new and novel technology, including a gold-covered mirror, the largest ever launched into space, and a sunshield the size of a tennis court and made of five paper-thin layers that will cool down the telescope's sensitive infrared equipment. The hope is that the telescope, which has taken 25 years to design and build at a cost of $10 billion, will shoot back images even more spectacular than the Hubble Telescope. The engineering risks are complex, but scientists hope for a grand reward.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is expected to be 100 times as powerful as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. We talk with three leaders of the effort to build, launch and deploy it as soon as November of this year. These conversations were recorded on the other side of a window facing the Northrop Grumman clean room in which technicians were putting the finishing touches on the observatory.
