Many objects don't produce or affect the light, or at least not enough to see the naked eye or even detect from far away with even a telescope. And by and large, it's so long that it's easier to detect from extreme distances. And the longer wavelengths even have the benefit of going through dust and clouds and other debris in space. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November- The first time we're looking to look further and further into the universe. So even the new telescope, the Fierce T. Reuben telescope that was recently activated, can't see as far into space because it has to contend with obstructions like that. So when the universe started, it was condensed into a hot mix of particles, protons and electrons. And as the universe expanded and cooled, the first stars in the galaxy began a little bit more than that in the beginning. First you had to have the universe cool enough so that those fundamental particles could then adhere to one another. It was way too hot for them to do that, so they could form neutral atoms. So at one point, as things cooled down, the first stars in the galaxy began to form. And the areas that can be seen are around 13.7 million years old, which is a little over 100 million years after the Big Bang. Which when you think of a telescope, is sort of like a wayback machine. You're looking at a time machine looking back into the universe. And the James Webb Space Telescope, people will see 90% of the way back to the Big Bang. And they see the expectations of most of the scientists involved in the planning of that telescope. So the James Webb Space Telescope, how does it be able to see that far out? That's due to the fact that space is expanding and stretching up the waves from visible light into infrared, Kp3JQQ.
