Know all about the NASA James Webb Space Telescope, which is one of the most powerful space Observatories.

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope is an infrared space observatory which was launched on December 25, 2021.

This is one of  NASA's Great Observatories which cost over $10 billion and is equipped with massive space instruments.

The James Webb Space Telescope is placed 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth in the  Lagrange point 2.

It took about 30 days for the spaceship to reach the desired destination and conduct studies as planned.

NASA reported that the JWST focuses on four major aspects: first light in the universe, the assembly of galaxies in the early universe, the birth of stars and protoplanetary systems, and planets.

Now, the newest space telescope works side by side with one of the oldest telescopes, the Hubble Space Telescope.

The James Webb Telescope was built in collaboration with  NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency.

Science.com stated that the telescope is being used by over 300 universities and across 29 U.S. states and 14 countries.
