This is so exciting!

The wide ranging discoveries we're going to get from the JWST in the next few years are going to be incredible. What a time to be alive.

I don't have a strong enough physics background to fully understand this, but it's still amazing reading about what astrophysicists can discover from faint evidence from billions of light years away.

I look forward to reading more about this as future discoveries develop!
