The James Webb Space Telescope boasts a mirror nearly triple the size of its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope.
JWST has the remarkable ability to look 13.5 billion years into the past, hence investigating the universe's infancy and the emergence of the first stars and galaxies.
Its mission focuses on capturing the initial moments when the universe's earliest objects started to form and produce light.
The telescope is not limited to ancient galaxies; it is also equipped to study supermassive black holes, the evolution of stars, and the properties of exoplanets.
Scientists expect the JWST to unveil where the universe's earliest light originated, reflecting its sophisticated observational capabilities.
