The second phase of a golden age for modern cosmology began with the launching of the James Webb Space Telescope last year. The JWST has met, and exceeded, all its designed capabilities and provides a window back into the very beginning of the Universe. The JWST allows us to study the era of galaxy formation, where the first generation of stars and planets are produced. We can now study back tens of billions of years to watch the structure and contents of the Universe form. In addition, near our Solar System, JWST will find new stars with planets, many having the same characteristics as the Earth.
