James Webb Space Telescope, artwork
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), artwork. This is an infrared telescope that is scheduled to be launched in 2014. It will have a 6.5-metre-diameter mirror (yellow), with which it will study the formation of stars and planetary systems, and the history of the universe. By using infrared wavelengths, the JWST will be able to see through much of the dust that obscures visible light. It will also study dark matter, which is thought to form the majority of the matter in the universe. Artwork published in 2009

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a groundbreaking infrared telescope set to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Scheduled for launch in 2014, this technological marvel boasts a colossal 6.5-meter-diameter mirror, depicted here in vibrant yellow hues. With its exceptional capabilities, the JWST will delve into the mysteries of star and planetary system formation while unraveling the enigmatic history of our cosmos. By harnessing infrared wavelengths, this next-generation space telescope will penetrate through cosmic dust that obscures visible light, enabling unprecedented observations and discoveries. It holds great promise in studying dark matter – believed to constitute most of the matter present in our vast universe. Published as an awe-inspiring piece of art back in 2009 by Science Photo Library, this illustration captures both the scientific essence and aesthetic allure of this ambitious project. The image symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond Earth's boundaries. As we eagerly anticipate its launch into Earth orbit, the JWST represents a remarkable feat at the intersection of technology and cosmology. Its potential contributions to astrophysics are immense – from shedding light on stellar evolution to unlocking secrets about planetary systems' origins. This stunning depiction serves as a reminder that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to unraveling nature's deepest mysteries among distant stars and galaxies.
