Rich | The James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is an $11 billion origins machine. It was engineered to discover the first stars that sparked the cosmic dawn and exoplanets that may harbor alien life.

Let's find out what this machine is capable of. I hope you enjoy this one, I enjoyed making it.


Thanks for watching.
