James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a collaborative project between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Its primary mission is to study the universe in unprecedented detail by observing distant celestial objects in the infrared spectrum. The telescope's large, segmented primary mirror gives it unparalleled light-gathering ability, allowing it to capture images of galaxies, nebulae, and other astronomical phenomena with incredible clarity and detail. The JWST is designed to detect light wavelengths from visible red to mid-infrared, enabling it to study the early universe and the formation of stars and planets. The telescope's location at Lagrange Point 2 (L2), nearly one million miles from Earth, provides it with a relatively unobstructed view of the cosmos.
