NASA's first fully focused images from the James Webb Space Telescope gaze into the origins of the universe and examine exoplanets that could harbor alien life. The $10 billion telescope's sensors scrutinize targets near and far, from a galactic arm of our own Milky Way to never-before-seen galaxies being born in the deepest reaches of space. Its spectrograph has also divined the chemistry of another planet's atmosphere from more than 1,000 light-years away, finding a gas giant called WASP-96b hazed with clouds of gaseous water. The resulting images and data showcase the telescope's unparalleled versatility.
It's a moment of triumph for scientists around the world, who now have a groundbreaking tool to aim at humanity's most existential mysteries. But it's also a victory for the flight operations teams who shepherded the telescope through the first critical weeks of its mission. This is their story.
