Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – James Webb Space Telescope #72 – Emerald 06/99

Description:
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a giant leap forward in astronomical technology. Unlike Hubble, which orbits Earth, JWST orbits the Sun at the second Lagrange point (L2). Since its 2021 launch, JWST has become one of the most complex and powerful observatories ever built. Its mission is to peer farther back in time than ever before, capturing the formation of the first galaxies and unraveling the origins of cosmic structure.

Quote (Back of Card):
“The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope orbits the Sun. Launched in 2021, the JWST is among the most complex and powerful telescopes ever created. Its mission is to peer deep into time and space to when the first galaxies were born.”
