The 84 pages that link to James Webb Space Telescope, each with the reason it gives.

• Space Telescope Science InstituteRelated: The institute helps run Webb’s science operations and administers its observing programs.

• Abell 1689Related: Infrared observations can characterize faint sources magnified behind the cluster.

• Astronomical objectRelated: Its infrared observations probe objects obscured or distant from visible-light telescopes.

• Messier 83Related: Infrared observations can probe dust-obscured star formation in Messier 83.

• Pillars of CreationRelated: Its infrared view reveals stars and structures hidden by dust in the pillars.

• Subaru TelescopeCompared with: Webb avoids atmospheric interference, while Subaru offers ground-based access and wide surveys.

• Wide-field Infrared Survey ExplorerCompared with: JWST provides deeper, detailed views of chosen regions, unlike WISE’s broad, comparatively shallow survey.

• FomalhautRelated: Webb observations have examined Fomalhaut’s warm dust and candidate planet-forming structures.

• Hubble Deep FieldRelated: Its infrared observations extend deep-field studies toward earlier galaxies than Hubble could readily detect.

• Hubble Ultra-Deep FieldCompared with: Its infrared observations extend deep-field studies to earlier and fainter galaxies.

• Northrop GrummanBroader topic: Northrop Grumman served as prime contractor, integrating the telescope and spacecraft.

• WISE 0855−0714Related: Its infrared instruments can probe the spectrum and atmosphere of this cold object.

• Astronomical instrumentationBroader topic: Webb combines a large segmented mirror with cryogenic infrared instruments.

• Epsilon EridaniRelated: Infrared observations can characterize faint dust and search for companions in the system.

• Extragalactic astronomyBroader topic: Its infrared sensitivity detects faint, highly redshifted galaxies.

• Giant Magellan TelescopeCompared with: Webb avoids atmospheric distortion, while the Giant Magellan Telescope uses a much larger ground-based aperture.

• John C. MatherRelated: Mather served as its senior project scientist after his work on COBE.

• Messier 77Related: Infrared imaging has revealed dusty structures around Messier 77’s active nucleus.

• Rho Ophiuchi cloud complexRelated: Its infrared instruments can resolve embedded stars and dusty structures in the region.

• 2 PallasRelated: Infrared observations can help constrain Pallas’s surface composition without a spacecraft visit.

• Diffraction-limited systemRelated: Its large segmented mirror sets diffraction-limited angular resolution across its infrared observing range.

• Dumbbell NebulaRelated: Infrared observations can reveal cooler material in and around the Dumbbell Nebula.

• Interstellar iceRelated: Its infrared sensitivity measures ice features in obscured star-forming regions.

• Lissajous orbitBroader topic: Its operational path is a large-amplitude Lissajous orbit around Sun–Earth L2.

• Moons of HaumeaRelated: Infrared observations can investigate the satellites’ surfaces and thermal properties.
