To finish this part, we will do the same thing for the JWT Deep Field and address the
following:
1. What is a “Deep Field” image?
a.
A "Deep Field" image is a photograph taken by a telescope that captures an
extended exposure of a small, seemingly empty region of the sky, revealing
numerous distant galaxies. The goal is to observe faint and distant objects
that may be missed in shorter exposures, providing a comprehensive view
of the universe.
2. Have we taken these sorts of “deep field” images before?
a.
Yes, deep field images have been taken before. The Hubble Space
Telescope, for example, captured iconic images like the Hubble Ultra Deep
Field (HUDF) and the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). These images have
significantly contributed to our understanding of the early universe and the
abundance of galaxies.
3. How does the JWT compare to other telescopes of the past (if applicable)?
a.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWT) represents a grand leap in
astronomical observation— poised to outshine its predecessors, notably the
Hubble Space Telescope. Its cutting-edge instrumentation and expansive
