James Webb Space Telescope

James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope. Besides,  it was specially designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Moreover, it is the largest optical telescope in space. It has provided the largest colourful image of galaxies as well. Moreover,  its greatly improved infrared resolution and sensitivity allow it to view objects too early, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.
