Capella

Capella is a high-powered astronomical telescope onboard the spacecraft, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It is designed to observe the universe in infrared light, enabling scientists to study distant stars, galaxies, and planetary systems formed billions of years ago. Positioned at the Earth-Sun L2 point, about 1.5 million kilometers away, Capella's sensitive instruments can detect faint heat signals from objects too dim or distant for ground-based telescopes. Its advanced technology allows for detailed imaging and analysis of the universe's earliest structures, helping us understand cosmic origins and evolution.
