Description:
In July 2022, NASA put the James Webb Space Telescope into service. It operates as the largest optical telescope in space, using near-infrared and spectral analysis sensors. The first science images exceeded expectations and pushed beyond the bar set previously by the Hubble telescope. Every image to come out of JWST delivers remarkable science, and its ability to see through dust clouds is providing never before seen images of the center of galaxies.
