JWST science goals

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) aims to explore the universe’s earliest galaxies, stars, and planets, helping us understand how they formed and evolved. It studies distant galaxies to learn about the universe’s infancy and what shaped its current structure. JWST also examines the atmospheres of exoplanets to identify conditions that might support life. Additionally, it investigates star and planet formation within our galaxy, providing insights into our own origins. Overall, JWST’s mission is to deepen our knowledge of the cosmos, its beginnings, and our place within it.
