A mockup of Arianespace's Ariane 5 rocket is seen at the entrance to the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, 21 December 2021, 4 days before the scheduled launch. The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is a large infrared telescope with a foot ( meter) primary mirror. The observatory is scheduled to launch later in the week and will study every phase of cosmic historyÑfrom within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe.
