It’s been one year since we saw the first official images taken by the groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope.
Since then, the telescope has been hard at work collecting data on our universe. In just one year, researchers have published over 750 pieces of peer-reviewed scientific literature using or citing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb), according to the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Every time I read something about the telescope, I’m reminded of how miraculous our existence is. Just tiny creatures, on a tiny rock, floating through a tiny galaxy, and endless things around us that we have no idea about. We haven’t even explored the ocean fully, and we still have space to go. Wow.
