But, if we can imagine that it could exist some day, it probably will, like a self fulfilling prophecy. They reveal the capabilities of all four of Webb’s state-of-the-art scientific instruments. Refractor telescopes are excellent for Lunar and Planetary viewing as they. ![]() Of course, to assemble coherent images of past events would require a technology that doesn't exist at this time. Webb’s first observations were selected by a group of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Ultra wide-field telescope that offers a wide swaths of sky in a single view. In other words, the light that passes Earth's surface from any direction carries images of its history with it. If there would be a way to position an instrument far enough away from Earth putting it 2500 LY into the red shift in an instant, we theoretically could observe human history of the past 2500 years like a reality TV show. ![]() But a year after NASA released the cosmic observatory’s first. The image it captured of NGC 3132, approximately 2500 LY away, captured the light that passed through the Southern Ring Nebula around the time when the Buddha walked around in what we know as India today, and the Hebrews were just about getting ready to abandon the civilized coziness of Babylon. By now, perhaps, we should be getting used to unreal images of the cosmos made with the James Webb Space Telescope. The JWST is the closest thing we have to a time machine.
