Launched on December 25, 2021, and fully operational since July, the JWST offers glimpses of the cosmos that were inaccessible to us before. The JWST, like the Hubble Space Telescope, is in space, so it can take photographs with incredible detail that are free of the distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere. However, while Hubble orbits Earth at an altitude of 540 kilometers, the JWST is 1.5 million kilometers away, far beyond the Moon. It can collect light from across the universe well into the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from this position, away from the interference of our planet's reflected heat. When coupled with the JWST's larger mirror, cutting-edge detectors, and numerous other technological advances, this ability allows astronomers to peer back into the universe's earliest epochs. In today's video, we bring you five new images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, as well as a recent discovery that shook the entire space industry. Therefore, make sure to stick around, as we discuss this discovery at the end of the video.
