Across a sliver of sky no wider than three full moons, humanity has now cataloged nearly 800,000 galaxies from the universe's earliest chapters — ten times more than anyone expected to find. The James Webb Space Telescope's COSMOS-Web survey, assembled from over 10,000 exposures and more than 200 hours of observation, represents not just a feat of engineering but a reckoning with how little we understood about the infant cosmos. Released freely to researchers worldwide, this archive invites a generation of scientists to ask questions its creators have not yet imagined.
