Advanced Technology: The JWST features a primary mirror with a diameter of 6.5 meters (21.3 feet), made up of 18 hexagonal segments that will unfold in space. Its advanced instruments and detectors are optimized for infrared observations.

Infrared Vision: The telescope's primary focus on infrared light allows it to penetrate dust clouds, revealing objects and phenomena that are otherwise hidden from optical telescopes. This includes studying the early universe, distant galaxies, star formation, and exoplanets.

Improved Sensitivity and Resolution: The JWST's larger mirror and improved detectors provide greater sensitivity and higher resolution than previous telescopes, allowing for more detailed observations of celestial objects and phenomena.

 Sunshield: To protect the sensitive instruments from the Sun's heat and light, the JWST is equipped with a five-layer sunshield the size of a tennis court. This shield will keep the telescope's temperature extremely cold and stable, enabling precise infrared measurements.

 Operating Location: The JWST will be positioned at the second Lagrange point (L2), located about 1.5 million kilometers (nearly 1 million miles) from Earth. This position allows for stable and uninterrupted observations without the interference of Earth or the Moon.

 Scientific Goals: The primary scientific goals of the JWST include studying the formation of galaxies, the evolution of stars and planetary systems, the characterization of exoplanets, and the search for potential signs of life in other planetary systems.

Deep Field Observations: The telescope will conduct deep field observations, capturing images of extremely faint and distant objects in the universe, helping scientists to unravel the mysteries of cosmic evolution and the origins of galaxies.

Collaboration: The JWST is an international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The project involves contributions from scientists, engineers, and technicians from multiple countries.

Mission Duration: The JWST's mission is expected to last at least ten years, with the possibility of extensions. During its operational lifetime, it will provide a wealth of data and scientific discoveries, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
