JWST (James Webb Space Telescope)

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, powerful space telescope launched in 2021 to study the universe. It observes distant stars, galaxies, and planets in infrared light, allowing it to see through cosmic dust and explore the universe’s earliest objects. Positioned about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, JWST provides clearer, more detailed images than previous telescopes like Hubble. Its mission includes studying the origins of stars and planets, investigating exoplanets' atmospheres, and understanding the universe's formation and evolution, greatly enhancing our knowledge of the cosmos.
