The largest and most complex space telescope ever built, Webb is able to gather light that has been traveling for 13. 5 billion years, almost since the beginning of the universe. In effect, Webb is a time machine, allowing us to peer at the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang. Because it gathers infrared light, sees right through the giant clouds of dust that block the view of most
