Webb is going to the second Lagrange (L2) point, which is 1 million miles (1.5 million km) away from Earth.
If you had a telescope on a planet 3000 light years away and zoomed in on Earth, you would see the Earth as it was 3000 years ago. Due to the time it takes for light to travel, you would not be seeing Earth in real-time, but rather how it appeared 3000 years in the past.
It needs to be fully tested because once released into space, it will be 1,500,000km away..A distance too far to bring it back. It is scheduled to release in 2013/14. If you are doing the June 2008 past paper with this question in, then it says how far the orbit distance is from the Earth; this is the data you need to pick up on. Hope this helps!
Yes, and without a telescope. But with a telescope, you can easily make it out seeing a blue ball about the size of the Esc key on a laptop.
You could see Neptune from Earth with a telescope if you knew exactly where to look.
No, Neptune is not visible to the naked eye. It is the eighth planet from the sun and is located far enough away that it requires a telescope to see its blue disc.
Ah, the James Webb Telescope! A wonder of modern technology. No, you can't see it from Earth with your naked eye, but it is there, floating in space, helping us explore the universe one brushstroke at a time. Nature has its way of hiding some treasures for us to discover in due time.
To view things from far away is called a binocular
The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.
So that man can and see and study the stars in away not possible from earth.
A freaking telescope

If you could survive and if you had a telescope powerful enough (but you cannot); yes.

Light from stars arrives at a telescope as parallel rays because stars are very far away compared to the size of a telescope's aperture. This distance makes the light rays effectively parallel when they reach the telescope, similar to how sunlight reaches Earth as parallel rays.
