James Webb Could Have Detected The First STARS of the UNIVERSE!
The images show the powerful capabilities provided by both world-leading space telescopes, especially when combining their data.
3. Collaboration between James Webb and Hubble for the DART mission.
A few days ago, NASA carried out the experiment to deflect an asteroid with the DART Mission. NASA scientists and engineers took this opportunity to test the capabilities of the two most powerful telescopes of the moment, Hubble and James Webb.
Observation with James Webb
Webb observed the impact location before the collision occurred, then several observations over the next few hours. Images from Webb’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam) show a tight, compact core, with plumes of material appearing as scrolls moving away from the center where the impact took place.
Observation with Hubble
Hubble also managed to capture observations of the small moon before the impact, then again 15 minutes after DART collided with the surface of Dimorphos. Images from Hubble‘s Wide Field Camera 3 show the impact in visible light. The ejecta from the impact appears as rays extending from the asteroid’s body. The flared ejection peak to the left of the asteroid is where DART impacted.
