Launched on Christmas Day in 2021, the Webb telescope is the largest space telescope ever created. It soared into space aboard an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Its mission? To unlock the secrets of the universe! The telescope began its groundbreaking scientific observations in July 2022. Since then, it has been tirelessly exploring the universe, from our solar neighborhood to the most distant galaxies.
And this is the part most people miss... The Webb telescope's ability to see infrared light allows it to peer through cosmic dust and gas, revealing details we've never seen before.
