The roughly $10b telescope allows us to see deeper into space, and farther back towards the origins of our universe, than humans have ever been able to see before. Webb can observe light from the universe’s very first stars and galaxies that formed 13.5b years ago, just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, and track those stars and galaxies’ evolution throughout the entire age of the universe.
“Something like the Webb Telescope really shows what humans can do when we get together,” says Lopez-Morales. “When we put our mind to it and we persevere for years, and everybody works together, things like this can be done and to me that’s inspirational.”
