Studying exoplanets
The JWST can study the atmospheres of exoplanets to search for signs of life. It can use the transit method to look for dimming of light from a star as its planet passes between us and the star. It can also use coronagraphs to directly image exoplanets.
Studying star formation
The JWST can observe the formation of stars, from the first stellar nurseries to the formation of planetary systems.
Studying the evolution of galaxies
The JWST can observe the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang. It can also observe galaxies that formed just after the Big Bang.
Studying the evolution of planets, stars, and galaxies
The JWST can better understand how planets, stars, and galaxies are born and evolve over time.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is an American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. Tyson studied at Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia University. From 1991 to 1994, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University. In 1994, he joined the Hayden Planetarium as a staff scientist and the Princeton faculty as a visiting research scientist and lecturer. In 1996, he became director of the planetarium and oversaw its $210 million reconstruction project, which was completed in 2000. Since 1996, he has been the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space in New York City. The center is part of the American Museum of Natural History, where Tyson founded the Department of Astrophysics in 1997 and has been a research associate in the department since 2003.
