James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory designed to observe astronomical objects in the infrared spectrum. Launched on December 25, 2021, it serves as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, with improved capabilities to study the formation of stars, galaxies, and planetary systems, as well as to explore the atmospheres of exoplanets. The telescope's design features a large, segmented primary mirror that measures 6.5 meters in diameter, allowing it to capture faint light from distant celestial objects. JWST's mission aims to advance our understanding of the universe by enabling astronomers to view formations that occurred billions of years ago, making it a crucial tool for cosmology and astrophysics.
