Question

Did you know? The James Webb Space Telescope cost $10 billion and floats 1.5 million kilometres from Earth — four times farther than the Moon. Out there it stays cold enough (-233°C) to catch the faint infrared light from the very first galaxies.

Accepted Answer

The James Webb Space Telescope cost $10 billion and floats 1.5 million kilometres from Earth — four times farther than the Moon. Out there it stays cold enough (-233°C) to catch the faint infrared light from the very first galaxies.

De James Webb-ruimtetelescoop kostte $10 miljard en zweeft op 1,5 miljoen kilometer van de aarde — vier keer verder dan de maan. Daar is hij koud genoeg (-233°C) om het zwakke infrarode licht van de eerste sterrenstelsels op te vangen.
