The James Webb observation is, in essence, a more complete representation of the nursery's activity. This enhanced capture isn't just meant for show. Scientists hope to revise their star formation ...

Webb will far surpass both those telescopes, being able to see many more and much older stars and galaxies. [169] Observing in the infrared spectrum is a key technique for achieving this, because of cosmological redshift, and because it better penetrates obscuring dust and gas. This allows observation of dimmer, cooler objects.
Missions with specific targets within the Solar System (e.g., the Sun and its planets), are excluded; see List of Solar System probes for these, and List of Earth observation satellites for missions targeting Earth. Two values are provided for the dimensions of the initial orbit.
Watch live as NASA, the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency target Christmas Day for the launch of the massive James Webb Space Telescope.
The James Webb Space Telescope has helped demystify the strange 2009 observation of a giant star about 25 times more massive than the sun that appeared to disappear from existence.
JADES-GS-z14-0 was observed using the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in 2024, [3] and it measured a redshift of 14.32, [4] placing the galaxy's formation at an estimated 290 million years after the Big Bang. [5]
This database will provide the worldwide astronomical community with abundant sources and targets for the James Webb Space Telescope and Atacama Large Millimeter Array, as well as future missions such as the Extremely Large Telescope, Thirty Meter Telescope, Square Kilometer Array, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
