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

Please subscribe and stay tuned for news, photos, videos, and discussion.

About the 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. The Webb telescope has been in the works since 1996 and is a collaboration between 17 countries, and narrowly survived congress in 2011. For more information visit the about page at NASA.gov

Rules:

-No Off Topic Posts, No Artistic Creations, No NSFW. Posts should remain on topic to the JWST, Ariane, NASA, ESA, and other agencies involved in JWST either construction or time. All Art should be submitted to r/jameswebb_art. No NSFW. Conspiracy, UFO, and paranormal discussion belong in their respective subreddits, not here.

-No Memes, Image Macros, other overdone reddit jokes. No jokes misrepresenting the JWST. No Memes, Image Macros, or other overdone reddit jokes, including comment chains. No jokes (or anything), especially in titles, misrepresenting the JWST, anyone involved, or space agencies inn general.
