ALT The James Webb Space Telescope is displayed inside of a clean room. The left and right sides of its reflective golden mirrors are tucked behind the center row of mirrors. Beneath the reflective mirrors stretch layers of reflective silver material. Two people wearing clean room suits stand on separate cranes, gazing at the telescope.
ALT Infographic depicting a timeline of the universe. Labeled events include: the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago; Cosmic Microwave Background around 13.7 billion years ago; the Cosmic Dark Ages around 13.6 billion years ago; the Era of Reionization starting about 13.5 billion years ago; and then present-day galaxies. On the top of the graphic there is an icon representing the James Webb Space Telescope. A wavy line representing Webb's infrared vision extends to the Era of Reionization period, showing that Webb can look back in time at 13.5 billion years of cosmic history.
