James Webb Space Telescope will study Quasares to learn about the early universe

NASA is waiting for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope at the end of this year. The telescope will observe all kinds of spatial phenomena, but it will focus particularly on studying quasar. A quasar is a very bright and distant supermassive black hole, active, which is millions of billions of times that the mass of the sun. The quasars are typically found in galaxy centers and feed on material from an accretion disk that surrounds it and unleash radiation torrents.

The quasars are among the brightest objects in the universe. The light that produces supershines that of all the other stars in the combined galaxy guest. NASA also says that the jets of material in the winds created by the Quastar forms the galaxy around it. Shortly after the Webb space telescope is launched, NASA plans to point to the telescope to six of the most distant and brilliant quasars known. Data collected by the telescope we use to study the properties of the Quasares and their host galaxies to determine how they are interconnected during the early stages of the galactic evolution in the universe itself.

Scientists also plan to use the Quasares to examine the gas in the space between the galaxies, particularly during a period called cosmic reaction, which ended when the universe was very young. The extreme sensitivity of the low light telescope and the magnificent angular resolution will be tested to study phenomena. Scientists point out that when the web telescope is looking deeply in the universe, it is actually looking back in time. This is because the Quasares are so far away from us, the light of them began their trip to Earth when the universe was very young, taking billions of years so that we will see each other.

The researchers point out that they will be watching how things were a long time ago, not as they are today. All the Quasares, the team will study existed in the universe itself when it was less than 800 million years, or less than six percent of its current age. Research gives the opportunity to study the evolution of the Galaxy and the formation of supermasive black holes and the evolution of the first days of the universe.
