Welcome to /r/JamesWebb, the subreddit for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Launched on December 25th, 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope or JWST succeeds the highly successful Hubble telescope as NASA‘s flagship general purpose telescope in space. Unlike Hubble which sees in the visible light spectrum, the Webb telescope sees in infrared enabling it to answer different questions about our universe.

ELI5: How can a telescope see "farther" into the universe? In other words, we're looking at light that has travelled vast distances to reach us, but the light we are capturing has already reached us. Aren't we just capturing light that's already here? Is it just resolution size?
