It has been an exciting week with the release of breathtaking photos of our Universe by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It has captured light from 13.5 billion years ago - almost the birth of the universe…
The Telescope only took 8 months to get from launch into its current position, but it took 30 years to build. It is considered one of the grand scientific endeavors of the 21st Century... An impressive achievement!
The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest, most powerful space telescope ever built. It will allow scientists to look at what our universe was like about 200 million years after the Big Bang. The telescope will be able to capture images of some of the first galaxies ever formed. It will also be able to observe objects in our solar system from Mars outward, look inside dust clouds to see where new stars and planets are forming and examine the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars.
Here are some fun facts about the James Webb Space Telescope:
Do you Know its Mission???

Thanks to an efficient launch, NASA estimates Webb has enough propellant for a 20-year life, as it works in concert with the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to answer fundamental questions about the cosmos.
