Before we can find a phantom galaxy, we must know what a phantom galaxy is, and in order to do that, it’s important to know how the James Webb telescope works. More specifically, how the James Webb telescope works better than any other telescope in capturing images of our universe. To begin, the James Webb telescope is the super-sized version of the Hubble. The Hubble is the size of a school bus. The James Webb is the size of a tennis court. Regardless of what your kind and reassuring partner says, size matters, and the James Webb is equipped with 21.3 feet of gold-hued mirrors that can collect more light than any other telescope, allowing it farther into the universe. The James Webb has six times the light collecting area of the Hubble and is 100 times more powerful…which really puts that dinky telescope you got for your 12th birthday to shame. Mirrors made by Midas himself aren’t the only thing that makes The Webb unique and more powerful than other telescopes. The incredible infrared ability makes The Webb the star of the sky. The reason we haven’t seen the epoch of a galaxy formation until now is that as ancient starlight travels through the fabric of space it becomes stretched. Ultraviolet and visible light from the farthest stars is stretched 20-times-longer wavelengths on the way here becoming infrared radiation. You know, it’s like when you blow a bubble and it expands so much that it becomes infrared radiation and then you’ve got a bunch of infrared radiation in your mouth and it tastes really bad.
