The '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''' is the most powerful space telescope ever built, designed to complement and extend the discoveries of the [[Hubble Space Telescope]]. Developed by [[NASA]] in collaboration with the [[European Space Agency (ESA)]] and the [[Canadian Space Agency (CSA)]], JWST is optimized for infrared astronomy, enabling it to see the earliest galaxies formed after the Big Bang. | The '''James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)''' is the most powerful space telescope ever built, designed to complement and extend the discoveries of the [[Hubble Space Telescope]].
