This is the journey of the James Webb Space Telescope, written shortly after operations started. It has been under development for a while. The project began in 1996, or, as of this writing, about 25 years ago. It is a NASA project that has the help of the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. The project has received contributions from fifteen nations. Four major objectives drive the project. These include looking for signs of life in distant planetary systems while studying the evolution of galaxies; the birth of stars and planetary systems; and the earliest stars and galaxies that emerged after the Big Bang.

This book exposes the structure and logical capabilities of the Webb infrared telescope in a feasible language. For a subjective and intentional appreciation of the pertinence and significance of this logical device, the book integrates a general sketch of space science, astronomy, and the achievements of the Webb telescope's progenitors. This initial information would make it easier to comprehend more point by points and sophisticated logical facts and frequent news in media about Webb's results particularly, as well as about the area of space research broadly.

On July 12, NASA will release the first scientific photographs from Webb. You can follow all of the action here on Space.com, courtesy of NASA, or on the agency's website.

NASA's largest and most powerful space research observatory, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, will investigate the cosmos to learn about the universe's history, from the Big Bang to alien planet creation and beyond.
