JWST: Planets to Cosmology

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is at the forefront of astronomical research, progressing through final testing stages of its hardware, including the full-scale sunshield and mirror. Designed to observe the earliest galaxies, this advanced instrument will provide razor-sharp images and vital insights into cosmic phenomena such as reionization, galaxy evolution, and the formation of Pop III star clusters. Additionally, JWST will enhance our understanding of extrasolar planets, including the detection of life-bearing conditions through spectroscopy and photometry of transiting exoplanets.
