Exploring the Universe with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
A powerful new observatory designed to study the universe in infrared light. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory that is designed to study the universe in infrared light. It is named after James E. Webb, a prominent figure in the early days of space exploration and the second administrator of NASA. JWST is set to be the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built, with a primary mirror that is 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter - more than three times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror. It is designed to operate at a location known as the second Lagrange point (L2), which is about 1.5 million kilometers (about 930,000 miles) from Earth in the opposite direction from the sun.The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory that is designed to study the universe in infrared light.
