@Jeetpriyodey1 The Universe is now about 13.8 billion years old. We'll see a period of the Universe's history we haven't seen before, which is about 200 million years after the Big Bang, when the first galaxies started forming. https://t.co/vkI0lNdZxx — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesdmoore614 @NASAHubble @NASAWebb Webb will observe the Ultra Deep Field in our 1st year of science operations. It'll take Webb less than a day to see deeper into the universe than Hubble saw in 2 weeks of staring! It will find tens of thousand of galaxies that are too red & too faint for Hubble to detect. — PolitiTweet.org

@PatBarr52364730 The telescope has four science instruments which cover near-infrared through mid-infrared wavelengths, from 0.6 microns up through 28 microns: https://t.co/3dK4AwKDiA — PolitiTweet.org

@WangnickS The sunshield has special seams to limit meteorite damage. Testing showed that micrometeoroids have negligible effects on the telescope's beryllium mirrors: https://t.co/Jx1ThKYsPL — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@WangnickS Debris isn't an issue a million miles away where we will orbit L2, and space is big so impacts from larger objects (asteroids, meteors) won't be an issue. We do expect tiny micrometeorite impacts, and the telescope was designed and tested for this. — PolitiTweet.org

@CougerMom @NASAWebb’s mirrors are made of beryllium because it's stable across a a wide range of temperatures. They’re then coated in a thin layer of gold to improve the mirror's reflection of infrared light. Here's more info: https://t.co/6eUrI3tOFQ — PolitiTweet.org

@PatBarr52364730 The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam), @NASAWebb's primary imager, will cover the infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns. It will detect light from the earliest stars and galaxies! Details here: https://t.co/iQ0D48wAHH — PolitiTweet.org

Two weeks after launch, @NASAWebb has hit its next biggest milestone: the mirrors have completed deployment and the next-generation telescope has taken its final form. Next up for Webb? Five months of alignment and calibration before we start getting images: https://t.co/BOj5O1HS37 — PolitiTweet.org

@GameZedd We're not sure exactly what's contained within Jupiter's deepest core: it could be solid or a super-dense soup. But with potential temperatures of over 90,000°F (50,000°C), we wouldn't discount those other factors too quickly 😀 https://t.co/TsvnZweQqa — PolitiTweet.org
