This image mosaic was created by pointing the telescope at a bright, isolated star in the constellation Ursa Major known as HD 84406. This star was chosen specifically because it is easily identifiable and not crowded by other stars of similar brightness, which helps to reduce background confusion. Each dot within the mosaic is labeled by the corresponding primary mirror segment that captured it. These initial results closely match expectations and simulations.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope. The project is working to a 2018 launch date. JWST will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System. JWST's instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range.
This image shows how JWST will be folded and stowed in the Ariane 5 spacecraft. JWST's solar panel is deployed about 1/2 hour after launch to provide power for the mission. The rest of the deployments take place in the next several days en route to it's final destination in L2.
JWST will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. Both the mirror and sunshade won't fit onto a rocket fully open, so both will fold up and open once Webb is in outer space. JWST will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope was named after the NASA Administrator who crafted the Apollo program, and who was a staunch supporter of space science.

014’te Hubble tarafından çekilmiş M16 (Kartal Bulutsusu-Yaratılış Sütunları) bulutsusunu daha önce işleyip sizlerle paylaşmıştım. M16 bu defa James Webb Teleskobu tarafından görüntülendi. 1 gün önce NASA tarafından yayınlanan bu önemli uzay bölgesini orijinal çalışmayı referans olarak bilimsel olarak işledim. Sizin yorumlarınız nedir sayın takipçilerim. Yorum olarak bir kaç kelimeyle belirtirseniz sevinirim.
İşleme Kredisi: Dr. Mehmet Hakan Özsaraç. 20 Ekim 2022.
Yaratılış Sütunları, NASA'nın James Webb Uzay Teleskobu'nun yakın kızılötesi ışık görünümünde bir renk kaleydoskopunda yola çıkıyor. Sütunlar, çöl manzarasından yükselen kemerler ve kuleler gibi görünüyor, ancak yarı saydam gaz ve tozla dolu ve sürekli değişiyor. Bu, genç yıldızların oluştuğu veya oluşmaya devam ederken tozlu kozalarından zar zor çıktığı bir bölgedir.
Yeni oluşan yıldızlar, bu Yakın Kızılötesi Kamera (NIRCam) görüntüsündeki sahne hırsızlarıdır. Bunlar, bazen sekiz kırınım çivisi ile görünen parlak kırmızı kürelerdir. Sütunlar içinde yeterli kütleye sahip düğümler oluştuğunda, kendi yerçekimi altında çökmeye, yavaş yavaş ısınmaya ve sonunda parlak bir şekilde parlamaya başlarlar.
Sütunların kenarlarında lav gibi görünen dalgalı çizgiler var. Bunlar, hala oluşmaya devam eden yıldızlardan fırlatmalardır. Genç yıldızlar periyodik olarak bu kalın gaz ve toz sütunları gibi malzeme bulutları içinde etkileşime girebilen süpersonik jetler fırlatır. Bu bazen, suda hareket eden bir tekne gibi dalgalı desenler oluşturabilen pruva şoklarına da neden olur. Bu genç yıldızların sadece birkaç yüz bin yaşında oldukları ve milyonlarca yıl boyunca oluşmaya devam edecekleri tahmin ediliyor.
Yakın kızılötesi ışığın, Webb'in sütunların ötesindeki büyük kozmik mesafeleri ortaya çıkarmak için arka planı "delip geçmesine" izin vermiş gibi görünse de, yıldızlararası ortam, çekilmiş bir perde gibi yolda duruyor.
Yaratılış Sütunları, 6.500 ışıkyılı uzaklıkta uzanan uçsuz bucaksız Kartal Bulutsusu içinde küçük bir bölgedir.

I have posted a shot of the inside of this before. Melbourne is a mix of tradtional and modern architecture and anything new that is built is generally very modern and futuristic looking - one of the things I love about the city.

James E. Webb was the second administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, formally established on October 1, 1958 under the National Aeronautics and Space Act. Webb is widely known for his effective leadership during the beginning of the American space program, and particularly for his foresite in commanding the agency to keep scientific objectives as a primary concern. Under his direction NASA undertook one of the most impressive series of projects in human history with the goal of landing an American on the Moon through the execution of Project Apollo.
Webb was known to be highly supportive of science during his tenure as NASA Administrator. He worked to enhance the key role and importance of scientists by giving them greater control in the selection process of space science missions. He also created the NASA University Program, which established grants for space research, funded the construction of new laboratories at universities and provided fellowships for graduate students. The program also encouraged university presidents and vice presidents to actively participate in NASA's Space Science Program and to publicly support all of NASA's programs.
As part of an oral history project sponsored by the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas, Webb recalled his conversations with President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson. He was quoted as saying in one transcript, "And so far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to run a program that's just a one-shot program. If you want me to be the administrator, it's going to be a balanced program that does the job for the country..."
By the time Webb retired just prior to the first moon landing in July 1969, NASA had launched over 75 science missions to study the stars and galaxies, our own Sun and home planet. Missions such as the Orbiting Solar Observatory and the Explorer series of astronomical satellites built the foundation for the most successful period of scientific discovery in history, which continues on today.
Influenced by the same exploratory spirit, the James Webb Space Telescope was named in his honor by the then acting administrator, Sean O’Keefe in 2002. The iconic new age observatory will become the masthead of the world’s combined efforts in astrophysics and cosmic exploration, much like the legacy of Mr. Webb. His steady oversight and unwavering support of NASA during its most critical period is why his name is attached to the next big thing in space.
James Webb inspired an optimism towards science, and enthusiasm for the future by ensuring NASA invested in goals of human and scientific exploration. Recognizing that in order to accomplish the goal of going to the moon NASA needed the best scientists and engineers, Webb fought hard to ensure they had a proper place in the agency.
“I think he’d be happy to have such a huge technological feat named after him. The fact that he was the power behind the Apollo Program - an enormously complex undertaking to get someone on the moon, and now here’s this ultimate state of the art observatory pushing the agency technologically in the way that Apollo did on the human spaceflight side,” said Eric P. Smith, NASA’s Program Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope Program. “The fact that we have scientists at all at NASA could be attributed to James Webb,” he added.
The James Webb Space Telescope will be the world's premier space science observatory. Webb will solve mysteries of our solar system, look beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probe the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international project led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

After 621 had turned after bringing in the Cockle train from Goolwa , the loco steams past the Victor Harbor water column returning to its train before taking the Southern Encounter service back to Mount Barker in 13-8-2017
Circa 1908, Woodbridge, Suffolk, England.
Believed to be in the rear garden at their Cumberland Street home, or at Howes Farm, Martlesham.
The Webbs were friends of my Gt. Uncle's family.
I believe this to be Eric Reginald Jonas Webb (1906-1964) with his mother, Bessie Mary Webb nee Long (1875-1948).
Eric's father was Reginald Jonas Webb (1874-1948) who, by 1901 lived in Cumberland Street, and later lived at 30, Church Street, Woodbridge, and which is, as far as I know, still owned or at least named 'Webb Brothers' ironmongers shop today.
By 1939, Eric was a Post Office clerk, living with his parents and a sister at 30,Church street.
By 1945 Eric was living at 215, Albany Street, Holborn, London.
By 1951, Eric was living in a flat at 13, Craven Street, Covent Garden, London WC2.
On his death in 1964, his probate states he was at the same address, and his estate was administered by a solicitor.
I can find no record that Eric ever married.
From a family photo album that was formerly Wilfred John Woods', the husband of my Great Aunt, Ada May Woods nee Thornton.
