The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant , or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope . [ 9 ]
On 27 December 2021, at 60 hours after launch, Webb's rockets fired for nine minutes and 27 seconds to make the second of three mid-course corrections for the telescope to arrive at its L 2 destination. [35] On 28 December 2021, three days after launch, mission controllers began the multi-day deployment of Webb's all-important sunshield.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an international 21st-century space observatory that was launched on 25 December 2021. [1] [2] It is intended to be the premier observatory of the 2020s, combining the largest mirror yet on a near-infrared space telescope with a suite of technologically advanced instruments from around the world.

The most powerful telescope to go into space was successfully launched on Christmas Day. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was on an Ariane 5 rocket when it left the Kourou spaceport in French ...
Two years of data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have now validated the Hubble Space Telescope's earlier finding that the rate of the universe's expansion is faster - by about 8% - than ...
A team of scientists published their findings this week using Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to cross-check the physics problem known as "Hubble Tension," which refers to Hubble Space ...
The James Webb Space Telescope launched in December 2021. By the time it launched, JWST cost about US$10 billion. NASA's large strategic science missions or large strategic missions, formerly known as Flagship missions or Flagship-class missions, [1] [2] are the costliest and most capable NASA science spacecraft.
