The upcoming Netflix documentary UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine, out July 24, goes behind the scenes of NASA’s $10 billion, twenty-year effort to understand the universe.

Netflix will show the story of the James Webb Space Telescope. The streaming service will broadcast a one-hour documentary about how the world’s most extraordinary observatory was evaluated and how it amazed us with its discoveries.

The documentary, titled ‘Unknown: Cosmic Time Machine,’ will be released on July 24 and will feature never-before-seen views of the preparations that went into building the Webb telescope.

According to Space, the film will follow the JWST crew of engineers and scientists, and follow the ups and downs of a project that took nearly 30 years to complete. It will be directed by Shai Gal and executive produced by Jason Spinar-Karr.

What is the Webb Telescope?

The JWST was launched as the successor to the long-serving Hubble space telescope, with greater wavelength coverage and considerably improved sensitivity.

Webb can look significantly closer to the start of time, look for the neglected development of the first galaxies, and examine dust clouds where planetary systems and stars are developing now, thanks to the longer wavelengths.

Webb has produced astonishing images of Space since the telescope began operating last July.

The $10 billion Webb telescope is located at the second Lagrange point, about 15 lakh km from Earth.

The telescope started operating on July 12 last year. Webb is called a ‘time machine’ not because it can travel back in time but because it can collect wavelengths of light that have traveled trillions of light years to get here.

The telescope is meant to investigate the universe in infrared light, which can’t be seen but is felt as heat.

Shai Gal directed the documentary, which is included in the four-part Netflix docuseries. In addition to Webb, the platform released ‘Unknown: The Lost Pyramid‘on the 3rd of July,’Unknown: Killer Robots‘on 10 July, and’Unknown: Cave of Bones‘ on the 17th of July.
