James Webb Telescope Has FINALLY Arrived | Now What?

Humanity’s time machine now has a target.

“Star light, star bright…the first star Webb will see is HD 84406, a sun-like star about 260 light years away.”

WIth this announcement, NASA gave the world the object of the James Webb Space Telescope’s first peek at the universe’s past, and it’s in the tail of Ursa Major! HD 84406 gets the honor of being the perfect target for Webb when its $10 billion eye opens and begins to focus its spectacular golden mirrors. The winner has the perfect brilliance, will stay in Webb’s field of view long enough for the precise optical alignments, and is in a rather desolate region of the Greater Bear.

What’s even better? HD 84406 can be seen through regular binoculars, so we mortals can share in this historic moment!

We plunge into the wondrous project that is the James Webb Space Telescope, dig into what lies ahead for the next several months and how this spacecraft will very likely change our understanding of our universe.
