James Webb priorities
James Webb priorities

Abraham Loeb, an astronomer from Harvard University who investigates many areas, presented last year with other students from Harvard University, a study that analyzed the capabilities of the James Weeb.

In that same study they also affirm that they can detect artificial lights or the lights caused by massive eruptions, to know if they are massive volcanic eruptions or artificial lights, it would be necessary to analyze the atmosphere of Proxima Centauri b and from there that story invented by the press and tabloid media.

And the curious thing is that the first worlds that james webb is going to study does not focus directly on Proxima Centauri b, because first it is going to focus on other worlds that are easier to analyze; It is one thing to have a powerful tool and another to know how to use it well, it is like having a very powerful car and another to know how to drive it correctly, it is not the same; When you want to learn to drive, they take you to special tracks where driving is easier and you can learn in a limited and controlled place and where the probability of an accident is minimized.

They have chosen these exo planets because in them the atmosphere can be analyzed in one and in the other the surface can be analyzed, the rocks that it may contain, that is why these two worlds have been chosen as the first objectives and not Proxima Centauri b, which could be interesting, but it is that Proxima Centauri b passes every 11.2 days with which we would have to wait 11.2 days to have new data and even worse other worlds similar to the earth that orbit stars similar to the sun, those are further from the star and they happen every several hundred days and if we focus on one of those worlds and we do not collect the observation data well, we would have to wait a whole year to collect the data again.
