James Webb Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory developed by NASA, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Named after James E. Webb, NASA's second administrator, the telescope is designed to be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

The JWST was launched on December 18, 2021, atop an Ariane 5 rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana.
It is positioned at the second Lagrange point (L2), which is approximately 1.5 million kilometers (about 930,000 miles) from Earth.

The primary goals of the JWST are to study the formation of the first galaxies, stars, and planets, as well as to investigate the atmospheres of exoplanets in detail. It aims to answer fundamental questions about the origins of the universe and the potential for life beyond our solar system.

The JWST is equipped with a suite of scientific instruments that operate in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing it to observe objects that are faint or obscured by dust. The primary instruments include the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).

The James Webb Space Telescope is anticipated to make ground-breaking discoveries and significantly expand our understanding of the cosmos by observing the universe in ways that were not possible with previous telescopes.
