James Webb Space Telescope - NASA Science
WEBWebb launched on Dec. 25th 2021. It does not orbit around the Earth like the Hubble Space Telescope, it orbits the Sun 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2.
Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb - Webb Space Telescope
WEBThe James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called Webb or JWST) is a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror. Webb will be the premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide.
Webb Launch Rewind - Webb/NASA - Webb Space Telescope
WEBNASA's James Webb Space Telescope, 20+ years in the making, is the largest, most complex telelscope ever launched into space. After launch, it deployed from its compact launch cocoon configuration into its fully unfurled, now iconic, operational configuration successfully moving through hundreds of potential opportunities for mission-ending ...

WEBWebb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago. Ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the very first luminous objects has been stretched or “redshifted” by the universe’s continual expansion and arrives today as …
WEBSeeing Starlight with the James Webb Space Telescope. Our universe contains objects that make radiation. This is energy that travels and spreads out as it moves. Radiation has a spectrum of wavelengths such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
WEBTelescope (Webb) will launch in 2021 and will see light in the infrared part of the spectrum. Spanning the size of a tennis court and standing three stories tall, Webb will be the largest observatory ever sent into space.
