Just to recap, the Webb is the largest space telescope ever built. Its mirror has a diameter of 6.5 meters or 21.3 feet. As a point of comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope has a diameter of 2.4 meters or 7.9 feet. The total light gathering area of the Webb is 6.25x that of Hubble...

however. That honor belongs to the cosmic background radiation, the microwave radiation released by the formation of the first atoms around 400,000 years after the big bang and observed by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) missions. Webb, ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially smashed one of its own records again, potentially spotting the earliest and most distant galaxies ever seen. The five candidate galaxies are so distant that the powerful space telescope sees them as they were just 200 million years after the...
The astronomers usedNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer back in time, more than 13 billion years, to study the cosmic surroundings of five known ancient quasars. They found a surprising variety in their neighborhoods, or “quasar fields.” While some quasars reside in very cro...
The James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s premier observatory of the next decade, successfully launched to space Saturday morning. The telescope will study exoplanets in new ways and look deeper into the universe than we’ve ever been able to before.
