Science with Webb - NASA Science
...Webb is designed to study all stages and ages of galactic evolution. Webb will capture light from the first galaxies in their nascent stages of development; measure star formation rates within galaxies near and far; and create detailed maps of gas, dust, and even dark matter in our local universe....

Other Worlds - NASA Science
...Webb's Other Worlds science discussion including key questions, discoveries, images and all NASA published research in the theme. Webb has the capability to look at light from tiny and distant planets, orbiting other stars, and tell us what their atmospheres are made of, as well as what their climate and weather are like. Webb can also examine objects within our own solar system, giving us new ......

Galaxies Over Time - NASA Science
...Webb's Galaxies Over Time science discussion including key questions, discoveries, images and all NASA published research in the theme. Webb continues this tradition of discovery, pushing the boundaries of observable space and time to study galaxies across the entire history of the universe. Webb's infrared capabilities allow astronomers to peer back over 13 billion years, observing some of ......
