James Webb Space Telescope – NASA

This example—using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field—showcases how the appearance of galaxies changes across billions of light-years of space—and billions of years in time. Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope will compliment those from Hubble and extend them to the earliest galaxies in the universe.
