Some have called NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope the \u201ctelescope that ate astronomy<\/a>.\u201d It is the most powerful space telescope<\/a> ever built and a complex piece of mechanical origami that has pushed the limits of human engineering. On Dec. 18, 2021, after years of delays and billions of dollars in cost overruns, the telescope is scheduled to launch into orbit<\/a> and usher in the next era of astronomy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an astronomer<\/a> with a specialty in observational cosmology \u2013 I\u2019ve been studying distant galaxies for 30 years. Some of the biggest unanswered questions about the universe relate to its early years just after the Big Bang. When did the first stars and galaxies form? Which came first, and why? I am incredibly excited that astronomers may soon uncover the story of how galaxies started because James Webb was built specifically to answer these very questions.<\/p>\n
