James Webb

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a powerful orbiting infrared observatory that has a mission to complement and extend the discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope. Here is a summary table of the latest observations made by the JWST as of March 19, 2023:

 

Observation	Description	Reference
WASP-96b	Detailed observation of a hot, puffy planet outside our solar system	1
Early Universe	Studying the earliest stages of the universe, early star and galaxy formation, and insights into the formation of planetary systems	3
Cosmic history	Examining every phase of cosmic history, from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets to the evolution of our own solar system	4
Wolf-Rayet star	Observing a rare sight of a luminous, massive, and briefly detectable star called WR 124 in unprecedented detail	5

 

Overall, the James Webb Space Telescope is an exciting tool that will help us better understand the universe and our place in it. Its unique capabilities will enable us to explore cosmic history in unprecedented detail, from the earliest moments after the Big Bang to the formation of planets and stars.
