Webb Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope)

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a powerful space observatory launched in December 2021. It is designed to study the universe’s earliest galaxies, stars, and planets by observing infrared light, which allows it to see through dust and gas clouds. JWST is much larger than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, enabling it to capture detailed images from deep space. Its findings aim to enhance our understanding of cosmic evolution, the formation of stars and planets, and the potential for life beyond Earth. JWST represents a significant advancement in astronomical research and exploration.
