Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

James Webb, the largest space telescope ever built, has traveled a million miles into space and is four times farther away than the moon to begin its work observing the formation of stars, planetary systems and exoplanets. Webb is designed to answer some of the biggest questions about the universe. Here we will review some of the first results of James Webb within two years of its launch. With its ability to capture the spectrum in the infrared range, James Webb can reveal a lot about the origin of the universe, the seeds of the first galaxies, the solar system and exoplanets and answer many related questions.
