TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided stunning images and made significant scientific discoveries in its first year of full-time operations. Highlights include the discovery of a distant galaxy with a black hole of 10-100 million solar masses, the observation of the Crab Nebula revealing details of dust, accelerated electrons, and winds, the deepest-ever view of the universe with the JADES survey, and the detection of the most distant gravitational lens and red supergiant star. Other notable findings include the identification of a potential solution to the "Hubble tension" and the revelation of the structure of the Fomalhaut stellar system. These images and discoveries represent just a fraction of what JWST has to offer in the coming years.
