Science magazine called the most scientific breakthrough of 2022 the NASA space telescope James Webb. This was reported on the website of the publication.
It is noted that it was a triumphal year for the Webb telescope. “The space observatory worth $ 10 billion at each step exceeded expectations – so that critics quickly forgot about the years of delays and huge changes,” the press release says.
The editors of Science chose the Webba space telescope from other applicants, among which there was also a NASA mission to deviate asteroids DART. The magazine praised the invention for allowing researchers to reveal the “incomprehensible past of the universe in amazing, unprecedented details.”
“within a few days after the telescope was put into operation at the end of June 2022, the researchers began to open thousands of new galaxies, more distant and ancient than any previously documented ones – some of them may be more than more than more than 150 million years older than the oldest. … Moreover, the telescope is capable of collecting enough light from astronomical objects – from newborn stars to exoplanets – to find what they are made of and how they move in space, ”said
