    Solution

    NASA launched world’s largest and most powerful space telescope, James Webb Space Telescope. It is built to give the world a glimpse of the universe as it existed when the first galaxies formed. The $9.66-billion infrared telescope, carried aloft inside the cargo bay of an Ariane5 rocket that blasted off from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) launch base in French Guiana. Named after the man who oversaw NASA through most of its formative decade of the 1960s, Webb is about 100 times more sensitive than Hubble Space Telescope and is expected to transform scientists’ understanding of the universe and our place in it.
