"On this day three years ago, we witnessed the nail-biting launch of the James
Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the largest and most powerful telescope humans
have ever sent into space.

It took 30 years to build, but in three short years of operation, JWST has
already revolutionised our view of the cosmos.

It’s explored our own Solar System, studied the atmospheres of distant planets
in search of signs of life and probed the farthest depths to find the very
first stars and galaxies formed in the universe.

Here’s what JWST has taught us about the early universe since its launch – and
the new mysteries it has uncovered."
