Illustration of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in space. The telescope features a large golden hexagonal mirror, composed of multiple smaller hexagonal segments, reflecting cosmic light. Its sunshield, a layered structure designed to block heat from the Sun, extends below. The background showcases a colorful, star-filled expanse of the Milky Way, with planets visible in the distance. Artwork attributed to James Vaughan.
