James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy, equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope was launched on December 25, 2021, and arrived at its destination, a solar orbit near the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, in January 2022. With a primary mirror of 6.5 meters in diameter, made up of 18 hexagonal mirror segments, the telescope has a light-collecting area of about 25 square meters, about six times that of the Hubble Space Telescope, and is designed to observe in the longer-wavelength infrared spectrum.learn more on wikipedia
