The James Webb Space Telescope is a powerful, next-generation space telescope that will explore the universe from a unique vantage point. It will be the world's premier observatory for infrared astronomy, providing unprecedented views of the cosmos and the ability to study the formation of stars, galaxies, and planets
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. It is the largest telescope in space, and is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
