The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a groundbreaking astronomical observatory that has revolutionised our understanding of the universe. Launched in 2021, it's a joint project by NASA, European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. The JWST observes distant celestial objects in infrared wavelengths. Its primary goals include studying the formation of stars and galaxies, tracking the evolution of galaxies and investigating exoplanet atmospheres for potential signs of life.
