James Webb Space Telescope Enters New Era of Universal Infrared Imaging in Cycle 1

The James Webb Space Telescope’s first year in orbit featured a six-month calibration process, mirror-shattering micrometeoroid strike, and infrared imaging of one of the earliest galaxies ever captured, GLASS-z12, an estimated 350 million years after the universe began. The previous record for such an observation was 400 million years after the Big Bang for GN-z11, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2016.
