TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of tens of thousands of galaxies, including some of the universe's most ancient objects. The telescope's Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey has found almost a thousand galaxies younger than 650 million years old, and another population of stars born 500 to 850 million years after the Big Bang. The Webb telescope's powerful abilities include a giant mirror over 21 feet across, infrared view, and specialized equipment called spectrometers that can decipher what molecules exist in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets.
