James Webb Space Telescope Illustration Art Card

This illustration captures the James Webb Space Telescope poised for its historic mission. Resembling a giant golden origami, the telescope unfurls its massive mirror, protected by a sunshield that stretches out like a wing. This marvel of engineering promises to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos. Webb's powerful gaze will pierce through time and dust, revealing the faint infrared light of the universe's earliest stars and galaxies, witnessing the birth of new suns and potential planetary systems, and peering into the atmospheres of distant worlds. The James Webb Space Telescope is humanity's daring instrument of discovery, poised to rewrite the story of our cosmic origins. - This file is in the public domain in the United States because it was solely created by NASA.
