Before JWST began science operations, a dust-sized particle struck one segment of its 6.5-metre mirror at hypervelocity and left an uncorrectable deformation — damage revealed because Webb can detect nanometre-scale changes in its own optical surface. - Space Daily

JWST has spent four years revealing an early universe that galaxy-formation models did not expect: within a few hundred million years of the Big Bang, galaxies were already forming stars faster, shining brighter and appearing in greater numbers than most pr - Space Daily
