Humanity's most sophisticated eye on the cosmos has been given its next set of questions to ask. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the James Webb Space Telescope will spend 5,500 hours pursuing 253 carefully chosen investigations — from the first possible confirmation of a moon beyond our solar system to the origins of supermassive black holes and the earliest galaxies. These are not merely scientific programs; they are civilization's attempt to understand where it came from, whether it is alone, and how the universe became the place it inhabits.
