What To Expect
Set for release on July 24, 2023, UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine provides behind-the-scene access to NASA’s ambitious mission to launch the James Webb Space Telescope, we follow a team of engineers and scientists as they take the next giant leap in our quest to understand the universe.
What Is NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched by NASA in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), is an advanced scientific observatory designed to observe distant cosmic objects and phenomena.
Acting as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, JWST is equipped with a larger primary mirror and focuses on infrared observations, enabling detailed images and spectra of the universe’s most remote events and objects, such as the formation of the first galaxies.
The mission hopes to mark a significant step forward in humanity’s collective quest to understand the universe — aiming to explore galaxy formation, star and planetary system formation, investigate the physical and chemical properties of planetary systems for potential life and much much more.
Worth Watching
Whether you’re a science enthusiast, an armchair explorer, or a casual viewer looking for a captivating watch, UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine will get you thinking about thinking outside of the bubble that is ‘our’ universe.
