Nasa has launched a new space telescope that can observe about 100 times more than the Hubble Space Telescope. This upgrade will help scientists study the universe in greater detail. The telescope is beginning a multi-year mission. Its main goal is to create a new, more complete map of the cosmos. Researchers also want to learn more about dark energy and dark matter. These are mysterious parts of the universe that do not give off light, so they are hard to study. By collecting stronger data over time, the mission may help explain how the universe expands and how galaxies form. The launch is an important step, and the work will continue for years.
