like microbes to be annihilated, even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards juice is still pervasive. the history of anti semitism this week on d. w. ah ah. this is the w news live from berlin tonight. the 1st mind boggling pictures from the most powerful space telescope ever launch. today, nasa unveiled detailed images from the james web telescope, which can peer through time itself. taking the human eye back to the dawn of the universe. also coming up tonight in the south of ukraine in russian occupy
11:01 pm
territory, missile strikes by ukrainian forces, ukraine's military says it hid a russian ammunitions differ, killing dozens of soldiers. ah, i break off is good to have you with this scientist or calling it the dawn of a new error in astronomy today, nasa and build the 1st images from the most powerful space telescope ever launched . the james web telescope is capable of gazing deeper into space and further back in time than any telescope in history astronomer say that the web telescope will shed a new light on the origins of our universe and could even help answer mankind's eternal question. are we really alone? the european space agency and nasa say that james web telescope has already changed
11:02 pm
our understanding of the universe. this chart shows the nebula created by a dying star expelling its mass damage. nasa, scientists say be intense detail never seen before. along with infrared shots when allow them to understand exactly what happens, a stars die killer. we thought in the birth of stones is equally stunning. this is a nearby style forming region within our milky way. the image reveals hundreds of new stars that were previously hidden along with structures that scientists have yet to identify. web has homed in on galaxies. they far away that the light from them has taken billions of years to get to the telescope. and of this image shows galaxies that formed over 13000000000 years ago, nasa is encouraging people to download the images on their website and take a closer look. really zoom in and play around. there are galaxies here in which are seeing individual clusters of stars forming, popping up,
11:03 pm
just like popcorn. another image shows how galaxies merged together. one of the fundamental principles of the universe that scientists are eager to learn about. yeah, the telescope also analyze the atmosphere of a faraway gas planet and detected water vapor. this plan couldn't sustain life, but the james web telescope will be analyzing other planets that are more like earth and peering even deeper into the universe. nasa says it's a game changer. ready ready ready ready ready ready was stephanie milam is a planetary scientist at nasa's goddard space flight center in greenbelt, maryland. i asked her what this latest release of images from nasa means for her in the wider scientific community. this is an absolute, groundbreaking opportunity today to see the 1st images and what it means for the
11:04 pm
entire project. for the 10s of thousands of people that have been working on this mission for over 2 decades. it means that we finally got to the point where we're going to rewrite the textbook for astronomy astrophysics and planetary science. we are now beginning science with the james web space telescope. yeah, a usa rewrite the astronomy books became we say the scientists are now making discoveries even with these new images that they were not even on reckoning with. there are things that we have found in these images that we have not seen before in the karena. nebula, we saw stars that are forming, that we've never been able to resolve before in the dying star. we saw the i, mary, for the 1st time, longer wavelengths. so we knew that this was a binary system. we'd actually never observe that star. and we're seeing more and more galaxies, and we could possibly ever even imagine. and every single observation we do,
11:05 pm
it's almost like a contamination even in our images there. so many galaxies, it is absolutely astonishing what you can see with just a blink of an eye with a james web space. it is amazing the clarity here. you almost have to think that these photos have been doctored because they are so clear. and when i compare these images to the images that we've seen from the hubble telescope, i mean it's like not in day, what makes these pictures so special. so, and these are very complimentary to what the hubble space telescope has done with the james web space telescope. that we're seeing at longer wavelengths we're seeing in the infrared. so it's almost like having night vision goggles for the universe. we get to see things that the hubble telescope can never see because of these wavelengths with the james web space telescope. we can see through gas and dust where stars are being born or the dust from dying stars, or even all the dust,
11:06 pm
the shrouds, galaxies, all these things. we can now hear inside of and really study in detail and extreme detail as you already said. and noticed in these images that we have never had the capability of doing at these wavelengths before and stiffly. when we look at these pictures, you know, this is just a, i mean it was described today by nasa as like a grain of sand on the end of your finger tip. what we're seeing here. so we're talking about count with stars, countless galaxies. what is the answer then when i pose the question to you tonight? are we alone? that's a wonderful question. and you know we are working diligently across multiple space agencies to, to survey the sky and details that we've never had the capability of doing before. the next generation telescopes are going to be built and designed both for space
11:07 pm
and the ground to search for you know, asteroids that are coming towards the earth, to search for new planets around other stars that may be in that, that habitable zone where they might have water on the surface, we are in a whole new realm of discovery space. and what we hope to do with the james web space telescope is maybe not look for life itself. but we are hoping to look for those planets around other stars that need to look something like our own ers atmosphere. and that is when we start getting our short list of targets to do further studies and maybe even start seeing some other signals that might be indicative of, of some sort of biologic geologic or some other phenomenon are process happening on that planet. to suggest that it's really of interest. well, well maybe one day we will find out that there is more intelligent life felt better than just what we know here on earth. stephanie milon, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight and congratulations. thank you so

much. well back your nurse and back to a very human undertaking, waging war, ukrainian forces have watched a counter attack in the southern harrison region in line with their plans to retake the territory from russia. keeps as its force is destroyed, and ammunitions depot and killed over 50 russian soldiers and an attack on the town of nova hove come, which is held by russia's troops, state media and russia are giving a different account, claiming at least 7 people were kill elsewhere in ukraine south, the city of nikolai has been hit by russian attacks clinics in apartment buildings . they are targeted injuring at least a dozen people. earlier i spoke with our correspondent emmanuel shars in keep she gave us more information about these attacks. well, at these has accessed the latest of his ting of attacks that actually fell upon his
11:09 pm
civilian buildings. you mentioned the 2 hospitals, one school, several residential buildings. this is only how what's happened today, and it's something we've seen happening over and over the past 5 months. of war, russia, me size falling and civilian targets these time on this particular attack. they were about a dozen people injured. nobody died, but dos attacks on a daily basis are deadly. i'm talk, i'm thinking about the latest issues a deadly or so far in this as if yada. so in done, i sweated, desta has an increase to over 40, and our 1st responders are still searching the rebel. we understand that ukrainian authorities are saying that russian shelves have struck yet another residential building in the southern city of nicola. now that would be just the latest in what appears to be a string of hits on civic civilians. i mean, is this a deliberate strategy that we're c?
11:10 pm
well, brenda, russia always says that he doesn't target civilians that he'd only house to t j target. dad being fed, it's been 5 months of war days, air read alerts every day, every night, all over ukraine and almost daily, their civilian facilities, civilian buildings, which are being hit and where victims, unfortunately are you know, are under the rebels of the people. dozens of people have already died in such strikes. so it seems at this stage of course that if not deliberate, at least could careless you know, or at least in precise missile, or strike a full on your kind on a daily basis. in your mind, when you to the ukrainian government has been warning for weeks now of an impending counter offensive in the south of the country to push the russians out of that area . what does that tell us about the, the state of the russian military tonight,
11:11 pm
or the ukrainian military rub? well, you know, a thing is quite telling daughter the ukrainian armed forces warned the population that they have to leave their homes. it also shows, or where do you know there's a lot of russian ammunition they posed that have been targeted by ukraine and armed forces of late and often over the years, you know, prosperity forces have built up those ammunition they posed in occupied areas. so a meet civilian so did explains why civilians have to leave, but we have to keep in mind that even though those cities are, you know, have lost a massive amount of inhabitants, sometimes half of them sometimes 80 percent of them, even though most of the bill left there still people left behind, i'm thinking about the elderly. i'm thinking about people with disabilities are simply people who decided they will simply not leave their homes, do their music manual shores for us there in the ukrainian capital in monroe. thank
