James Webb 🔴 Gallery @webb-telescope.bsky.social · Feb 23
Welcome to the unofficial James Webb Space Telescope gallery, featuring regular posts of #Webb photos and news.

JWST explores the earliest galaxies, star and planet formation, and exoplanet atmospheres.

Illustration of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in space. The telescope features a large golden hexagonal mirror, composed of multiple smaller hexagonal segments, reflecting cosmic light. Its sunshield, a layered structure designed to block heat from the Sun, extends below. The background showcases a colorful, star-filled expanse of the Milky Way, with planets visible in the distance.
