NASA PICTURE OF THE DAY FOR TABLETS PATCH
Behind it, however, are more ancient galaxies in just one small patch of the universe. Specifically, you're looking at the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared some 4.6 billion years ago. The light from those galaxies has been traveling for billions of years, NASA administrator Bill Nelson explained. Galaxies in the foreground distort light and help magnify these faraway objects.
Webb spied an "extremely distant" population of galaxies in this image. But the Webb telescope, with a gold-tinted mirror over two-and-a-half times larger than Hubble's, has the ability to see much fainter objects, and will peer through previously impenetrable clouds of thick cosmic dust.īehold five of the most anticipated space images ever. The Webb telescope is the successor to the legendary Hubble Space Telescope, which has captured unprecedented stellar views for over three decades. What the giant James Webb telescope will see that Hubble can't "Today the Webb mission is open for business," NASA astronomer Michelle Thaller said at the image unveiling Tuesday morning. It also gives unparalleled insight into a giant planet beyond our solar system. This first batch of unprecedented images includes views of some of the most distant galaxies, a giant star nursery, and colossal cosmic clouds. Looking at these objects means looking back in time billions of years, because it takes that long for this ancient light to reach us (or more precisely, reach the $10 billion Webb telescope). The colossal telescope orbits around 1 million miles from Earth, and is positioned to peer at some of the earliest galaxies and stars ever born. Scientists have released the first highly-anticipated, full-color, scientific images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful such instrument ever built. Many have planetariums or host stargazing nights, or will take you on a tour of their facility.A new dawn of peering into the deep, deep, deep cosmos has begun. Contact Community Colleges and Universities near you to see what special events they are hosting. Predetermined questions will be used to break ties. Questions are worth a pre-assigned number of points. Participants using computers/tablets as a resource should have all information stored so that it is available to them off-line. No Internet access is allowed during any part of this event. If the participants are using a computer/tablet they may use a calculator app or other program on their device in place of a stand-alone calculator. Sheet protectors and laminated sheets are allowed.Įach team may bring two stand-alone calculators of any type to use during the event. The information or pages may be removed during the event. If three-ring binders are used they may be of any size and the information contained should be attached using the available rings.
a computer/tablet and a three-ring binder or, Materials:Įach team may bring one of the following options containing information in any form and from any source: Topic for 2022 tournament season coming soon. They will then be asked to answer questions (multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, etc), label diagrams, make graphs, etc. Teams may be viewing any combination of models, pictures, diagrams/charts, or recorded/written descriptions. It may also be done as a powerpoint or inside a planetarium, but these are far less common.
This may be a station or a sit-down test. NC Essential Standards Alignment: EEn.1.1
