The James Webb Space Telescope, arguably the most ambitious engineering initiative ever, finally launched into orbit on December 25, 2021. Designed to revolutionize our understanding of exoplanets and galaxies far, far away, this telescope will capture never-before-seen images.

|
Construction of the telescope took roughly 30 years, cost nearly $10 billion dollars, and provides an exciting backdrop for lessons revolving around the technology that is fueling modern-day space exploration.
