This splashy, graphics-rich volume echoes that breathless excitement as it lays out the telescope’s functions, its innovative construction and launch into space, and the ways it manages to capture such detailed images. Alongside the stunning full-color, large-scale images of nebulae, planets, stars, and the telescope itself, diagrams explain such pertinent concepts as the spectrum of visible and invisible light and spectrographs, which help astronomers learn about the chemical makeup of distant stars and other celestial bodies. Q&As with scientists currently working with the JWST highlight some of the concrete ways the images are being used and what they can reveal, such as weather on exoplanets, rings around Neptune and Uranus, how and why stars are formed.
