Despite having the most sophisticated ground-based observatories, our view of the Universe from Earth remains fundamentally limited due to atmospheric interference that obscures most wavelengths.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a game changer, unveiling unprecedented cosmic insights by breaking numerous records, including identifying the most distant galaxy ever observed.
NASA's astrophysics has reached a pivotal moment with JWST, encouraging the development of a suite of space observatories, which could propel our exploration of the Universe to new heights.
The JWST exemplifies the advantages of space observation, as many wavelengths, including gamma-rays and X-rays, require deployment beyond Earth's atmosphere to be accurately observed.
