The world's most powerful space telescope ever, James Webb, has embarked on a historic mission.
The James Webb Telescope is a منصوبہ 10 billion joint venture between the US space agency NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
The most powerful space telescope was launched from the French Guiana on the South American coast at 5 o'clock local time by Aryan Five rocket.
James Webb gave the signal to successfully enter the orbit half an hour after the flight and this signal was given through the ground antenna in Kenya.

According to reports, if all goes well, the shield will open in 3 days of the flight and then in the next 5 days it will be locked and unlocked on the spot, after which the different parts of the reflection device will also start to open and All parts of the James Webb will be activated on the 12th day of his journey.
James Webb will go through complex stages for the next 6 months.

One of the most important features of the James Webb is its 6.5-meter-long golden mirror, which is 3 times larger than the Hubble's reflection device sent 31 years ago.
James Webb will also try to look at parts of the universe that have never been seen before, with the aim of finding the star that lit up before the early days of the universe (approximately 13 billion years ago).
Hubble's 31-year space telescope will come to an end with the successful positioning of James Webb.
