They are images taken by the various instruments made by man to observe the universe, attached to the earth or wandering in space and can be viewed in high resolution with detailed explanations on the website of European Space Agency.
James Webb Space Telescope
The joint project of the US Space Agency/ESA/Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and James Webb Space Telescope It is the new great space science observatory for solving the mysteries of the solar system, exploring distant worlds around other stars and discovering the origins of the universe.
It was scheduled to be released in March 2021, but the pandemic forced it to be postponed. It was launched in December 2021 and the first images were released on July 12, 2022. James Webb’s first birthday in space was celebrated with the birth of sun-like stars.
Hubble Space Telescope
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has been sailing through space for 32 years and has dazzled us with what it “sees”. With more than a million observations made, which include some of the most distant and oldest galaxies, the NASA/ESA telescope is perhaps the instrument that has captured the most spectacular images of the universe.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest science laboratory ever built outside Earth. It has been in orbit for 23 years at an altitude of about 400 km. The first unit was released on November 20, 1998, but development continues. It is the largest structure built by man outside Earth in a partnership that brings together “rival” nations.
On July 26, 2022, Russia announced that it will stop operating the space station from 2024.but in May 2023 it’s over She agrees to stay on the ship until 2028.
Copernicus program
The European Space Agency’s Copernicus program has been observing the Earth from space for 25 years. It currently has seven satellites in orbit Copernicus Guardian Monitoring our planet, collecting 16 terabytes per day of high-quality data that is also shared with other institutions.
Data helps address some of today’s major challenges, such as declining polar ice, sea level rise, natural disasters, or climate change.
From the various satellites in orbit, the mission Copernicus Sentinel It is designed to provide detailed information about the Earth’s vegetation, map different landscapes, and monitor changes over time.
the mission Copernicus the Guardian -1 It consists of two satellites. Each carries an advanced radar device to provide images of the Earth’s surface day and night. In 2022, the Sentinel-1B mission ends and Sentinel-1C should go into operation in 2023.
