NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, was launched on Dec. 25, 2021, in a campaign to study astronomy and look back at the cosmic universe rather than before.
Webb is currently in its viewing area, Lagrange point 2 (L2), approximately 1 million km (1.6 million km). It is the largest and most powerful telescope ever invented.

THE FIRST WEBB WAY IS GOOD FOR SCIENCE!
The first of four James Webb Space Telescopes has been announced as ready for science. The Near-Infrared Imager and the Slitless Spectrograph tool, or NIRISS, are designed to help scientists study the atmosphere of exoplanets, among other scientific activities.
At the time, space observers worldwide were counting down until July 12, when NASA said it would unveil the first scientific images from the observatory. You’ll be able to watch the announcement live on Space.com, of course, and stay tuned for more installation.
