James Webb has an advantage that no telescope on earth has: it is so far away from Earth that it is almost pure, an environment that can never be found on earth, thus revealing the secrets of the earliest days of the universe. The price is high. One James Webb, enough to repair eight to ten of the European extremely large telescope. The WEIBER is not a measuring instrument, It doesn’t map incredibly large regions of the universe. However, the telescope can give us a picture of the universe 13 billion years ago, especially what those distant, early galaxies looked like. The structure and composition of galaxies depends on dark matter. The amount, composition and aggregation of dark matter can influence the formation of galaxies. The properties of dark matter affect the number and brightness of galaxies, and even the kind of stars they produce. But the nature of dark matter is still unknown.

Wolfgang R. Dick ,

Thank you very much for the link to the list of scientific research projects made possible by the James Webb Telescope, which includes galactic, black hole, planetary formation, cosmological, stellar ice formation, and many others.

"Director’s Discretionary Early Release Science Programs To realize the James Webb Space Telescope’s full science potential, it is imperative that the science community quickly learns to use its instruments and capabilities. To get the community up to speed, ST ScI and the JWST Advisory Committee developed the Director’s Discretionary-Early Release Science (DD-ERS) program.

The DD-ERS observations will take place during the first 5 months of JWST science operations, following the 6-month commissioning period. The program selections were made in November 2017 and represent six science categories.

To view details about a specific program, select a science category below, then click the Program ID. For a description of the program and its expected impact on the community, click the Program Title instead. Archival Research ERS Programs have no exclusive access period and can be used as a basis for GO Cycle 1 Archival  Research (AR) Proposals.

Lee shing-on ,

Thank you so much for launching this Research Gate discussion thread question with such a fine answer! In particular, the James Webb Telescope has an incredible range of sight. Your most startling answer is that "the telescope can give us a picture of the universe 13 billion years ago, especially what those distant, early galaxies looked like."

Please be sure to share your scientific research with us at ResearchGate as you explore dark matter! As you observe, "The structure and composition of galaxies depends on dark matter. The amount, composition and aggregation of dark matter can influence the formation of galaxies. The properties of dark matter affect the number and brightness of galaxies, and even the kind of stars they produce. But the nature of dark matter is still unknown."

Best regards,

Nancy Ann Watanabe

The launch of the infrared James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for Christmas Eve, December 24, 2021!!!!!

The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble Space Telescope is - it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2.
