4. Yep, it’s “black hole”! Webb’s infrared vision will be able to pierce through the dust surrounding the cores of galaxies, shedding light on the mysteries of supermassive black holes: https://go.nasa.gov/3m1mnoe pic.twitter.com/IghCdjReET

5. The answer is the main “asteroid belt” — a huge cluster of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. Webb will examine the composition of multiple asteroids within the belt to learn more about the history of our Solar System: https://go.nasa.gov/3rdPGH1 pic.twitter.com/CHlRkx5l5F

6. It’s “spacecraft bus,” one of Webb’s major components. This structure handles things such as steering the observatory, sending & receiving data from Earth, and converting sunlight into power: https://go.nasa.gov/3hMtYqx pic.twitter.com/aCnbCjPBPu

7. If you answered “redshift," you are right! Cosmological redshift refers to how light stretches into longer, "redder" wavelengths as the universe expands. Download this infographic: https://bit.ly/3hM1xZS pic.twitter.com/2hm5wfR6YX

8. It’s “spectrograph”/spectrometer! Webb has multiple spectrographs, which are used to disperse light from an object into a spectrum. Analyzing the spectrum of an object can then tell us about its properties, such as the composition of an exoplanet’s atmosphere.pic.twitter.com/q3Y8n4DHx0
