The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a lot about space in recent days with its first images and data. And it is just getting started with its exploration of the cosmos. NASA has informed that Dr John Mather, the observatory's senior project scientist, has been working toward this milestone for more than 25 years. Taking to its official Twitter handle NASA tweeted, "Letting go of the past is not one of Dr. John Mather's strong suits. In fact, he's received a Nobel Prize for it. As @NASAWebb's senior project scientist at @NASAGoddard, Mather is shifting the past into new focus. Learn more in Gravity Assist: https://go.nasa.gov/3zlescr."

It can be known that before Webb, Dr Mather worked on a spacecraft that delivered a groundbreaking baby picture of the universe and offered the best evidence yet that the universe began with a rapid expansion we call the Bbig Bang. Speaking to Jim Green from Gravity Assist, NASA's interplanetary talk show, here is what Dr John Mather said.

Giving a little background about COBE, Dr Mather said, "COBE was the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite, and it was proposed back in 1974, to measure the Big Bang . So what's it mean to measure the Big Bang? It means measure the cosmic microwave background radiation, which fills the entire universe now. And is evidence of the conditions at the very earliest moments, whatever they were. So task number one, see, is it the right color? Is it colorless in the
