The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in December 2021 after extensive development and funded at approximately $10 billion, has already yielded groundbreaking insights into the universe. Now approaching its fourth operational year, the telescope is tasked with a new series of observations that promise to enhance our understanding of early galaxies, exoplanets, and even phenomena in our solar system. However, budget uncertainties loom, raising concerns about potential funding cuts to NASA’s science projects, which could jeopardize the future of JWST and its significant contributions to astronomy.
