Competitively selected research agenda includes exploring evolution galaxy origins, stellar life cycles, the search for habitable planets orbiting distant suns, and the composition of the moons in our own outer solar system.
But the most revolutionary discovery by Webb, is 100 times more sensitive than its 30 -year -old predecessor, the still -operating Hubble Space Telescope.
