The JWST, if it does eventually fly, would surely do some spectacular science.

如果JWST最后可以升空的话，将要成为科学界的壮举。

With all that in mind, NASA will press on with the JWST, at least for now.

鉴于这一切，就目前而言，美国航空航天局会对JWST的研发施压。

It's paving the way for future JWST studies that, if we're lucky, might ultimately even resolve individual Population III stars.

它为詹姆斯韦伯望远镜的未来研究铺平了道路，如果我们幸运的话，最终甚至可能分辨出第三星族单个恒星。

So, recently two independent teams did just that–using JWST to look for Population III stars.

因此，最近两个独立的团队就这样做了——使用 JWST 寻找人口 III 星。

JWST has capability to study exoplanet atmospheres to a degree and precision that has never been done before.

JWST 有能力以前所未有的程度和精确度研究系外行星大气层。

The JWST will be powerful enough to zoom in on individual planets outside of our solar system, known as exoplanets.

JWST 将强大到足以放大太阳系外的单个行星，即系外行星。

JWST is named after James E. Webb, NASA's second administrator who oversaw the agency's decade-long effort to reach the moon.

JWST 以 James E. Webb 的名字命名， James E.Webb 是 NASA 的第二任管理员， 负责监督该机构长达十年的登月努力。

But our knowledge is limited and the best things about tools like JWST is that they are really discovery tools.

但是我们的知识是有限的，像 JWST 这样的工具最好的地方在于它们是真正的发现工具。

Some of the JWST's findings on the early universe were published this year, and astronomers will continue to share the telescope's results and discoveries on the evolution of galaxies in the year ahead.

2022年韦伯太空望远镜关于早期宇宙的一些发现已发表，天文学家将在未来一年继续分享该望远镜的成果和关于星系演化的发现。

That doesn't confirm these are dark stars, though. The pinpricks of light in the JWST images also could come from more familiar types of stars, says Sandro Tacchella. He's an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge in England.

但这并不能证实这些是暗星。桑德罗·塔切拉 (Sandro Tacchella) 表示，JWST 图像中的针刺光也可能来自更熟悉的恒星类型。他是英国剑桥大学的天体物理学家。

So you need a big telescope operating in the infrared like JWST in order to see those very first galaxies, the ones which are moving so fast away from us, that all of their light is redshifted into the infrared.

所以你需要像 JWST 这样的大型红外望远镜才能看到那些最早的星系，这些星系正在快速远离我们，以至于它们所有的光都被红移到红外线。
