Here's a glimpse of what NASA's James Webb Telescope can do

According to NASA, the telescope's other instruments will be aligned over the next six weeks. A Near-Infrared Spectrograph (used to evaluate an object's physical properties like temperature and mass), a Mid-Infrared Instrument (to enlarge its ability to see distant galaxies and newly formed stars), and a Fine Guidance Sensor (to ensure it takes high-quality images) are some of the instruments included.


By the end of May, JWST is expected to be fully operational, located about a million miles from Earth. It is hoped that the telescope's first scientific observations will provide new insights into the 19 galaxies close to our Milky Way and how the cosmos was born. Even though we probably just want to see beautiful shots of nebulae, mysterious planets, and ominous black holes.
