The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest, most powerful and complex space telescope ever built and launched into space.  What does the Webb Telescope's mission mean for space exploration?

With official images from NASA, guest speaker Jennifer German (NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador (SSA)) explains the technology behind the Webb telescope, how this instrument could advance space science, and why images from the Hubble, Spitzer, and Webb telescopes differ.

The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white.
