The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an observatory that was built primarily for infrared astronomy. Its excellent infrared resolution and sensitivity enable it to examine objects that are too early, far away, or dim for the Hubble Orbit Telescope, which is the greatest optical telescope in space. This is anticipated to open up a wide variety of astronomical and cosmological inquiries, including the observation of the earliest stars and the development of the first galaxies, as well as the comprehensive atmospheric characterization of exoplanets that may harbor life.

JWST was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), the Canadian Space Agency, and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (CSA). The JWST was developed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland, is run by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University, and Northrop Grumman was the primary contractor. The telescope bears the name of James E. Webb, who oversaw NASA's Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions from 1961 to 1968.

From Kourou, French Guiana, the James Webb Space Telescope was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket on December 25, 2021. It reached the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point in January 2022. On July 11, 2022, the public saw the first image from JWST during a press conference. The telescope is NASA's premier astrophysics mission, taking over for the Hubble.
