Choose Your Path: Destiny of Dust Infographic - a tiny dust grain has many potential paths—and destinies—in the universe. Which would you choose? Where could it lead you? Explore some of the possibilities and consequences with this infographic, and discover important roles that dust can play.

Unknown Era: The First Galaxies Infographic -  Webb will push the boundaries of what is observable in the universe farther back in time and space, detecting light emitted by the earliest galaxies more than 13 billion years ago.

Cosmic Reionization Infographic - more than 13 billion years ago, during the Era of Reionization, the universe was a very different place. What allowed the universe to become completely ionized, or transparent, eventually leading to the “clear” conditions detected in much of the universe today.

Webb's Microshutters Infographic - the telescope’s Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) has a microshutter array that can capture hundreds of colorful spectra at the same time. Discover how it will help transform our understanding of many distant stars and galaxies simultaneously.

Moons: Active Worlds Infographic - discover the makeup of four active Solar System moons, worlds unto themselves with unique, dynamic environments. 

What is Cosmological Redshift Infographic - the universe is expanding, and that expansion stretches light traveling through space in a phenomenon known as cosmological redshift. The greater the redshift, the greater the distance the light has traveled. As a result, telescopes with infrared detectors are needed to see light from the first, most distant galaxies.

Massive Stars: Engines of Creation Infographic - this illustration demonstrates how a massive star (at least 8 times bigger than our sun) fuses heavier and heavier elements until exploding as a supernova and spreading those elements throughout space.
