JWST has various meanings in the Science category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of JWST in Science.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST abbreviated) is an infrared space telescope planned to be the partial successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope.
JWST won't really act as a successor because it won't be sensitive to all wavelengths of light that Hubble can observe. Its main scientific goal is the more distant objects in the universe; other fundamental devices or observing objects that Hubble has not seen.
