The James Webb Telescope launched on December 25, 2021. Touted as the successor to the ageing Hubble Space Telescope, the new telescope was shot off million of kilometres away from Earth to get a better glimpse into the workings of the universe. The James Webb Telescope was built and launched by NASA in collaboration with official space agencies of the European Union and Canada. And when it fully deploys in space, the Webb will usher in a new age of astronomy, scientists say, and show humanity things it has never seen before.
