Surfing with the Webb
On Christmas Day 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope launched from Earth and now resides some 1,5 million kilometres away! It’s 6 metre mirror has been scanning the cosmos ever since its arrival, and sent its first images back in July last year. Unlike its predecessor, Hubble, the Webb sees in the infrared (IR) spectrum, allowing astronomers to see deeper into the Universe than ever before.
