00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:07,540
Which parts of the sky can
the Webb telescope see?

4
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:14,320


5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,290
The James Webb Space Telescope
orbits the sun in sync

6
00:00:17,290 --> 00:00:22,440
with Earth but one million miles
further out beyond the moon.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,210


8
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:29,100
The telescope's mirror
is perpendicular

9
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:31,530
to the 70-foot sunshield,
which keeps it cool.

10
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:35,480


11
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,360
The telescope's movement is
limited in certain directions

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,310
to keep the mirror and
scientific instruments

13
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:41,858
in the shade of the
sunshield blocked

14
00:00:41,858 --> 00:00:42,900
from the heat of the sun.

15
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:49,950


16
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:53,460
But Webb can rotate to get a
360-degree view of the sky.

17
00:00:53,460 --> 00:01:03,320


18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,290
As Webb orbits the sun,
different celestial objects

19
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:07,930
enter its available
field of view.

20
00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:12,200


21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,090
Science observations
with the telescope

22
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:16,880
will be carefully scheduled
to make the most effective use

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,750
of Webb's time.

24
00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:23,140


25
00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:25,180
Over the course of
six months, Webb

26
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:39,200
has access to the entire
sky, allowing astronomers

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,060
to investigate a
range of questions

28
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:43,850
about how the universe works
and our place in the cosmos.
