About

In less than three years since the release of the first data, the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionised our knowledge and understanding of the Universe.

My talk will be a non-specialist review of the concept and current status of the mission, that is designed around an innovative technology combining unprecedented collecting area and IR sensitivity, and of some of the latest results, covering a wide range of topics from the exploration of our solar system, the atmosphere of exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life, the evolution of galaxies and black holes in the young Universe.
