JWST’s scientific goals include studying the first stars and galaxies, tracing galaxy formation and evolution, investigating the early history of the universe, examining star and planet formation, observing Solar System objects, and characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets, including potentially habitable worlds. Its instruments provide imaging and spectroscopy from approximately 0.6 to 28.5 micrometers, enabling scientists to analyze the chemical composition, temperatures, and physical properties of astronomical targets. The telescope operates near the Sun–Earth L2 point, where its five-layer sunshield keeps it cold enough to make sensitive infrared measurements.
