  The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects far distant, or fainter than the Hubble Space Telescope.
   

  The Webb was launched on 25 December 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. In January 2022 it arrived at its destination, a solar orbit near the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point, about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 mi) from Earth.

   

  All 18 hexagonal mirrors of the Webb Space Telescope, needed to be perfectly aligned so they all hold a perfect position to sharply focus the images that are being photographed in the Infrared region of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
